I want to start off by saying that the delivery was prompt, which was great because since my due date is approching, my husband and I were going crazy trying to find the perfect chest for baby boy's room. With that being said, this chest is by far the greatest last minute purchase we have ever made. The chest is very sturdy, finish is just perfect,   and the wood is very smooth (although I believe its not real wood.) It gives our sons nursery such a rustic like vibrant feel to the room. We paid to get it built but it took the guy who built it about an hour, which is not bad at all. We are super satisfied with this purchase and we absolutely recommend this chest to everyone. Btw, we purchased it in the weathered white finish.
