This chest is very unique an absolutely finishing piece to my furniture! It appears to be large so you'd expect the drawers to be huge but they're not. A piece of wood in the front of each drawer opening limits the height. I doubt it's 4 inches high. My iPhone 5 is taller then the height. I'll need a new home for jeans. I tried to take a photo of the wood preventing my jewelry basket from fitting in the drawer. The drawers pull all the way out but CANNOT be removed! This may sound strange but I'm airing the drawers because they have a strong glue like odor. The drawers are mostly empty but seem to need a shove to close completely. I'll keep an eye on that. I don't say this to make it seem horrible just a heads up! I would definitely order again and refer to a friend. Make sure you have someone help you carry it its heavy!
