This chest was just what I expected. Arrived undamaged,well packaged and the easy to follow instructions were great. Put the drawers together first. Assembly of the chest went smoothly, took about 2 hours at my own unrushed pace. Once assembled and in place it looks great. Actually, a little sturdier than I thought it would be. Quality is quite impressive . I recommend this chest and I look forward to getting matching bedside nightstands. Be sure to check the size you need as this is a bit larger than some of the other chests (it is perfect for what I need)
