The 2 drawer chest is nice, however, I was hoping for better quality for the money, especially since this was to be a Christmas gift. But I will find another gift.  The outside is real wood, and the finish appears to be hand painted.  Unfortunately, the drawers are made of mdf, or pressboard.  Both the inside and outsides of the drawer are painted black.  Black?  Really, hard to find stuff in a black drawer.  The front design appears to be a patterned paper glued on.  One corner is messed up, but if you take off the knob, you can actually replace the front.  Since I am keeping it, I have painted the inside & outside of the drawers buttercream and have attempted to repair the front corner damage.  Now looking for maybe some brass colored knobs.
