This is a beautiful 2 drawer chest. I was not thrilled when I saw that there was assembly required, but was happily surprised when it arrived and I only needed to attach the legs. It only took me about 15-20 minutes to put it together, and half of that was because it was so well packaged for shipping that it took me some time to get it unwrapped! The legs went on very easily and it was ready to go! The chest is well made and the drawers open and close very easily. The description states that the top is cherry wood, but it does not have any red in the stain, which I was happy about. My only critique would be about the aged look. The black "scuff" marks are actually black paint smeared on in random places. I wish they would have either weathered it more naturally, or just left the black marks off the chest.
