We bought this 4 drawer chest due to the dimensions on where we wanted to place it. We also expected it to be more white than it is. It's more of an off-white color. As far as putting it together, it probably took a couple hours but directions were simple and the product seems sturdy. I will say the spacing of the drawers is a bit off on at least one of them. Not super noticeable unless you're examining it but still not the highest quality of furniture. The handles work fine but we decided to replace them to match the black accents we have in the room. Overall I'd give this 3-stars. If the drawers slid in and out smoother and all matched for spacing between I'd give it a higher rating.
