What does 1 Chronicles 17:1 mean?

After David got settled in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, 'Look, I'm living in a nice house made of cedar, but God's chest is sitting under a tent.' 1 Chronicles 17:1 - Modern Text Bible

(David notices the contrast between his comfortable home and the simple tent where the Ark, representing God's presence, is kept.)
