Personally I view this as not a bug or problem.

I find it silly that a decorative that a LOT of players were happy about suddenly becoming a chest to hold things. I personally would like more decorative things.

I find it further amusing that someone said it should have more slots than a Black Iron chest which has 32 spots to hold things.

I guess if someone is this upset about a decoration in game they could always use the personal chest to hold these things in a limited manner.
