If you don’t  over stuff this somewhat shallow chest with larger items such as jeans or blankets,   it will serve you well. It is ideal for underwear, sweaters, socks, nightgowns, scarves , gloves, hats, etc. I have it in a bedroom , but, it is cute enough to use in a common area as an accent chest. Mine is a beautiful weathered  green that would  compliment many decors .  It is not solid wood, but does  not look cheap to me  .It arrived within days, and was  very  carefully packaged with no damage. It was  quick and easy to attach the feet. Overall, I am happy with the chest’s charming appearance and  functionality, even though it would be more ideal if it was a bit deeper. It is probably not a good idea to pack it with heavy, solid  items unless it is attached to a wall as it could tip over.
