Love the chest. A little disappointed that the manufacturer decided to put adhesive tags on the back side of the trunk.  They had to be removed and took some of the varnish with the adhesive.  Wouldn't matter if this was being placed against a wall but I am using it as a coffee table in a small space.  Did my best to disguise it and am otherwise very happy with it.  Holds a lot of bedding good for the hide-a-couch!  Did I mention it's a small space.
