I have mixed feelings about this piece of furniture. It said somewhere that this model could be painted..... well, not really. It is finished with varnish or some kind of clear coat that it almost impossible to sand or strip off. Some pieces of wood were a little cracked and I had to stabilize the wheels because they broke easily. The bottom of the drawers does not lock in place and I had to glue them together to stop them from coming apart with use. I was important for me to get wood furniture as opposed to plastic or MDF, so I'm still happy with my purchase, but I had to work a bit harder than expected.
