Wonderful and sophisticated piece, and well-constructed. The top drawers have a velvet lining which makes them great for delicates! The only assembly required is the feet, one on each corner and one in the center-center of the bottom. Easy allenwrench assembly, parts all included. Color is not quite pure white, more like eggshell, and the hardware is a smooth, brushed-finish brassy toned gold. It brings my whole room together!! I absolutely love it.
