Bought this as a chest to use in a playroom to store the kids' crafts, puzzles, toys, etc.  The corner edges of these drawers are VERY sharp, and the drawers were not safe for young kids to open and close.  Assembly was also a pain - and I say that as someone who actually doesn't mind assembling furniture.  This piece was not easy to put together, and it wasn't as sturdy as it looks or should be.  Despite all of this, we kept it for a little while to store items that were not used very often, so the drawers wouldn't be open and closed all the time. Started falling apart after about 6 months, so we got rid of it. Would not buy again.
