Soon after you’ve started the game, your inventory will be full of items. Now, you can make a couple of choices at this point. You can either sell the items or make a chest in Stardew Valley and save them to use later. Selling the items will only mean you’ll have to collect them again to use them in the future or even go out and purchase them. Neither option is ideal, making using a chest the way to go.

If you pull up the crafting tab, marked by a hammer icon, in your inventory and scroll over to the chest, you’ll see only one required resource. For a chest, you will need 50 Wood. Luckily, wood is easy to come by in Stardew Valley, and you can get it by chopping down some of the many trees littering your new farm.
