The big seal script of character Cabinet is

The left is character Wood (Post 10), the right is character Huge. The character means a big wood cabinet.

The small seal script of character Cabinet is
Similar to big seal script.

The clerical script of character Cabinet is 
The left is Radical Wood, the right is character Lack, not big ruler as older scripts. The reason to change is unknown. I just guess that the cabinet is a container for home goods, so it has 匚, a cabinet alike. Inside 匚 is character Expensive (Post 224), meaning the content in the cabinet is expensive goods.

The simplified song typeface of the character is
The right changed back to character Huge.

The Pinyin of character Cabinet is Gui4.
