The chest is overall nice, solid construction.  The color is darker than expected in person.  However, I do not mind that it is more of a charcoal/blueish gray than pure light gray.  I was not expecting the top drawer to be lined with a brown velvet and would have preferred it not be lined.  My biggest criticism is that there are quite a few small chips in the paint as shown in the pictures.  Most are not noticeable unless you look really closely, but it may bother a perfectionist.
