Had to assemble and took five hours. I specifically bought this chest because it was advertised, and reviewed, as coming in one piece. It came in three huge boxes. Other reviewers said it was really heavy because of the wood- mine is veneer and particle board.  The white paint on the legs wasn’t completed, so there’s wood showing through. There’s also poor painting on the sides and top. But, from a distance it looks nice and trendy. It’ll store things the way I need it to, and the drawers are large and good quality. I won’t be sending back, but won’t purchase from this manufacturer again.
