This chest is very tall and good quality. I put it together myself, total it took about 2.5 hours. The only gripe I have is that you can see some of the unfinished wood at the seam between the bottom drawer and the bottom base board and it's pretty noticeable against the black. I know I put it together correctly too. But this little issue can be fixed with a teeny bit of black paint. Overall, I am satisfied with the chest. Very tall, sturdy, and holds a lot.
