This piece has a slight green tint to it which is really highlighted by my white walls and bed linens.  The hinges are well placed and seem durable.  The carving on the front is very decorative and I decided to move it away from the end of the bed to the wall so you can see it. Yes, it has a rather large crack in the lid (side) but this add to the rustic look that it offers.   Came assembled with the exception of the feet.  I like the piece and am keeping it.  The packaging was incredible.
