Different types of furniture(model) same function

While building up my armor shop, i noticed something that bothered me quite a bit..
Currently you only have 1 type of storage piece for most types of materials you can build/harvest/etc. But quite a lot of these don't really make any sense for the type of material that goes into them. For example Hemp and hay stacks go into normal sized barrels, where you can store thousands of them into, and yet cotton somehow needs this HUGE container to store them into..
Same goes for other items. Going back to my armor shop, armor is stored in these metal chests, which to make not only doesn't make any sense, isn't very appealing either.. While armor storage of large quantity would always be hard, these chests just look strange and realistically not even a single piece of samurai or Mercenary armor would fit in one of them.

This to me looks very silly.. just visually not appealing at all to have all these chests(which you need to store any amount of armor you'll be craftering since their capacity is so small) and not to mention a poor use of space(for this building)
So the actual feature request would be to make it possible to use other types of furniture as storage containers for the same function. Say we could use the large green box usually got Ore and cotton for armor instead, or my personal choice would be the storage shelves you see in NPC shops.
