You can stack a maximum of 999 identical items into a single slot. Items do not decompose in chests.
Chests can be left in many different places in Stardew Valley. However if a chest is left on a walking pathway for a villager it will disappear, along with all of its contents. It is not known if this is a bug or a deliberate design element (i.e., some form of "theft").
An empty chest can be picked up and returned to inventory by hitting it with any tool. Chests with any items inside cannot be picked up.
Coloring
When opened, chests have a color bar above their inventory window which allows players to select a different color for the chest. This can be changed at anytime without cost. There are 20 colors available to select in the color picker.
Chests outside the farm
It is possible to place crafted items outside the farm. If a villager walks through the square where a crafted item (other than a chest) was placed, the item will be destroyed.[1] Chests will be moved out of the way.[2] Areas that aren't visited by villagers, so are safe to place crafted items in, are the Backwoods, the Tunnel, the southern half of Cindersap Forest, the Quarry, and the Railroad above the tracks.
