My husband and I purchased this chest along with a matching dresser and two matching nightstands as we have a lot of clothes and little closet space. They were somewhat time consuming to put together but instructions were direct and easy to follow (and we became really good at it after the 5th piece). None of the pieces were damaged and seem to be very sturdy once built. They drawers are extremely spacious and smoothly pull out on the tracks. Overall I am extremely impressed for the value given the price. We have small children and did not want to worry about taking care of and protecting expensive furniture with them getting into everything!
