Appears exactly as pictured and is a beautiful, sturdy piece of furniture for the price. As with everything, you get what your pay for, so considering how cheap this item is we were really pleased with the quality. The drawers are not super deep, but got the job done for a normal amount of clothing. The instructions were easy to follow and the pieces went together nicely, overall it took about 1.5 hours to assemble (we hired a handyman). When we laid out all of the pieces, two panels were a different color (cherry and dark blue), but it ended up not being a big deal as they were internal support pieces. Keep in mind if you are looking for a premium item (like Crate & Barrel, Restoration Hardware) you'll need to pay a premium price, but if you are looking for the perfect combination of price and quality, I would absolutely recommend this dresser. It fits the style of the room, a good size, and surprisingly sturdy for the price. Perfect fit for us.
