Storage ChestsHope Chests
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Hope Chests (6947) on level 4: Storage Chests › Hope Chests. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4205) or the full path ("Furniture > Cabinets & Storage > Storage Chests"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 2 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 4205, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Storage Chests
What is the Google product category ID for Storage Chests?
4205. The full path, "Furniture > Cabinets & Storage > Storage Chests", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Storage Chests or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Storage Chests has 2 directly below it, starting with Hope Chests (6947), Toy Chests (4268), and 2 in total further down. 4205 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Storage Chests sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Cabinets & Storage (6356). The chain from the top is Furniture → Cabinets & Storage → Storage Chests. If your product does not belong under Cabinets & Storage, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Storage Chests is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Cabinets & Storage first — there are 13 other categories at this level: Armoires & Wardrobes (4063), Buffets & Sideboards (447), China Cabinets & Hutches (448), Dressers (4195), File Cabinets (463), Ironing Centers (465846), and 7 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Cabinets & Storage (6356) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Storage Chests?
1 level more. The longest route down from Storage Chests is Storage Chests > Hope Chests, ending at Hope Chests (6947) on level 4. Not every branch below Storage Chests runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Storage Chests compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 14 at its level, carrying 2 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Storage Chests and Storage Cabinets & Lockers?
They sit side by side under Cabinets & Storage and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Storage Chests is 4205; Storage Cabinets & Lockers is 5938. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Furniture > Cabinets & Storage > Storage Chests" with "Furniture > Cabinets & Storage > Storage Cabinets & Lockers" before you submit.
