I like this piece ok.  It is not as nice as the other Willow Arlo pieces I have purchased.  I do not remember hitting it going up the stairs, but it chipped by the time I got it in place beside my bed.  It is in a dark corner of the bedroom so it is not a big deal.  The price was good so I am going to keep it.  I love the style as I do all of the Willow Arlo stuff!
