Disappearing items & other glitches

I was experimenting with furniture placement for a bath design

I placed the following items in the following order:
1. A claw foot tub facing east
2. Directly adjacent & to the north I placed a ter mur style table
3. Next to that, an elven wash basin
then I left an empty space
4. then I placed ter mur chair.

when I hit the dresser with a axe, it turned into a barrel (twice)—needless to say confusing me.
I also took down the claw foot tub.
The table and the chair went poof. While these weren’t looked down, they were on the floor for less than 5 minutes.

Your posts are confusing, the table and chair went poof when you did what ? It takes roughly an hour for non blessed items to decay.

When you axe a dresser, which is a container, it will turn into a barrel. Double click the barrel to place it again. If you want it in deed form, place it, lock it down, then release it, then axe it and it will be a deed unless dresser has items in it.

If you axed the table and chair, then you destroyed them. If you didn't lock the table and chair down, then it will decay like @GarthGrey said.

While it seems normal to us vets imagine how confusing it must be to inexperienced players with each item behaving differently rather than a uniform system..

Just what I needed when doing deco & moving furniture—a large barrel blocking items in my backpack.
