Wood vs. metal for long term storage:
For those who are afraid of fire, there is the natural inclination to gravitate toward metal. However, in the heat of a fire, what is inside the box is going to melt anyhow so in a sense it does not matter. Most laboratory fires are "flash" fires, and if stored in a wooden box, the wood acts as an insulator, keeping the content's cool. And because of the flash nature of most lab fires, the box never sees a high enough temperature to ignite.
