For the price these are great quality. The painted area I wasn't sure if it was gold or silver coloured. Was inspecting images as closely as I could before I bought in the hope it was silver (looks very gold in some images). Luckily for me they are indeed silver coloured (which is what I was after). These painted silver areas are trying to pull off an antiquey vibe which works, although you can tell it's not an antique. As mentioned at the start of this review, for the price, these are great quality. The painted parts are mixed with (VERY) small black strokes/areas to give that worn effect. Don't be put off with that though, it works. Back of the unit is black as is the inside of the drawers. No issues with quality as mentioned in some reviews where they've said the paint is flaking off, all good on mine.
