The walnut is really dark but I love the color. I’m glad I splurged on professional assembly although the pieces looked well organized and the directions seemed reasonable. 

The dresser is light and easy to move. Love the style. The quality is so-so. It came with scratches, some chips, and areas where the stain had missed. And some of the drawers were sharp where you grip to open drawers. That seems to be getting better with use and they certainly slide smoothly. 

All in all, I do like the dresser. I don’t love it but it serves its purpose. I would have been really unhappy if I’d paid full price. But I got it on sale.
