The Ornate Elven Chest is one of those craftables that is not locked down when "placed" and has to be "chopped" to move it to another location, ie. it "bolts itself to the floor" when placed from it's scroll.
It seems to have a "behavior" that you should be aware of (if you're not already). If you put something in it and then forget to Lock it Down or Secure the chest, the chest will remain there but it's contents will disappear as though they were left on the floor.
Can someone please explain to me WHY some items DO and WHY some items DON'T require locking down in order to not decay? I just wasn't thinking when I "placed" that Ornate Elven Chest that it had to be locked down or secured or it's "contents" would decay but not the chest itself... And the saddest part is that it contained 3 mannequin's suits (my best MR and Luck suits and my brand new Sammy suit that cost me on the order of 30 mill to build)....
