We liked our first so much, we bought another one for either end of our second floor landing. Very smooth finish. We bought them in blue, and they're a lovely color about halfway between royal and navy. The drawers are not on slides of any kind, so they don't open and close very smoothly, and there is no stop to keep them from pulling all the way out. They are more attractive than functional for storage of heavy or often used items in the drawers.
