This chest is exactly what we were looking for. The color is really nice for my son's room and doesn't look totally fake- so much so that we are considering another for our bedroom. Yes, it took two hours to put together but the directions were clear and it is very sturdy. The price is really great for what you get. Another bonus... it is packaged very well and despite the outside box being significantly damaged, the chest did not have one scratch on it and it comes with a spare kit and a marker for any future wear and tear!
