Very pretty,  Before I purchased the Chest I read the reviews and paid attention to difficulty level to  put the chest together.  I saw nothing that lead me to believe it was more difficult than putting a wardrobe with drawers together.  When assembling the chest I discovered that pilot holes had not been drilled for attaching the the inside locking lid and the top lid.  Neither were any markings or pilot holes to guide placing the side hinges for the top lid.  I am waiting for a friend, and the time to finish the chest.  The last step a helper was needed.  The  Chest is nice as far as it is assembled.  I would recommend some carpenter type experience to facilitate ease of assembly.  

Pros: Sturdy Nice finish
Cons: Assembly
