I will warn you that the Chocolate color is really closer to Black-Brown. 
The drawers are not the easy-glide kind, but they aren't difficult to open or close either. 
It took about 4 hours to put together. Even though the directions state that no power tools are needed, the husband noted it would go a lot faster if you used a power drill. '
Overall, this bed has been fantastic for my 4 year old boy. For the money, I couldn't have found a better deal.
And super fast shipping!!
