Props of the native component are also available.

Name	Type	Default	Description
classes	object	-	Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details.
component	elementType	-	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
disableGutters	bool	false	If true, the left and right padding is removed.
fixed	bool	false	Set the max-width to match the min-width of the current breakpoint. This is useful if you’d prefer to design for a fixed set of sizes instead of trying to accommodate a fully fluid viewport. It’s fluid by default.
maxWidth	‘xs’ | ‘sm’ | ‘md’ | ‘lg’ | ‘xl’ | false | string	‘lg’	Determine the max-width of the container. The container width grows with the size of the screen. Set to false to disable maxWidth.
sx	Array<func | object | bool> | func | object	-	The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the sx page for more details.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
