Craft a chest in minecraft - how?

i'm probably overcomplicating it, but i can't craft a chest in minecraft at all. i'm not after an exploit, just the normal way to do it. what's the step i'm missing? happy to give more detail if it helps.

a chest won't open if there's a solid block right on top of it, or a cat sitting on it. barrels don't have that problem, so for storage under a floor or a staircase use barrels.

8 planks around the edge, middle empty. any wood type, even mixed. put two next to each other for a double chest.
