Chests

Chests are one of the oldest forms of cabinetry.  What once was little more than a box with a lid can now contain doors and drawers.  Legs and moldings can offer infinite versions of one of the most useful forms of cabinetry.  Practically speaking they can be bench seats, trunks, entertainment centers, coffee tables, and more.  They can offer lots of storage while being an elegant focal point.
