This is a very pretty 3 drawer chest. It was relatively easy to put together. I probably did the whole thing in an hour and a half. It probably took me a little longer though due to using wood glue (which was not provided) to ensure it holds together. This is your typical flat pack particle board with wood veneer. It does look very beautiful once together. The hardware is a nice gold metal and gives it a nice touch. I took a star off only because the drawer hardware for sliding in and out is a bit wobbly. It slides smoothly enough but doesn't seem as sturdy as it could be. I'll just be using this as a night stand and will probably keep light seasonal clothing in it. So I won't be loading these drawers down too heavy, and I wouldn't recommend it. It is a little awkward with my cords due to the lip on the back of the piece, but I don't really mind it.
