I am unsure why everyone loves this chest?!?!?! First thing, the SMELL.... it has been TWO WEEKS and it still smells like straight chemicals. I have tried baking soda, dryer sheets, and anything I can think of to get rid of it, and it will not go away!!! Secondly, the paint... it is NOT stark white... I even have a flat white piece of furniture, and unfortunately, this is still not as white as that. It is white with a yellow undertone, which is sad as I followed previous reviews of how "white" it was, and now I am going to have to repaint it. There is no dovetailing, drawers are wood, but thin/cheap wood. For a guest room this would be 'okay,' but not for everyday use. The design is pretty, but with the shoddy paint job and cheap inner workings, I would not recommend this to someone looking for furniture. I wish I would have spent the extra two-three hundred and got a solid piece, that would have lasted for years.
