We received this chest quickly and were very happy when we opened the packing box. I am very picky about furniture. I must confess I was unsure about buying furniture online but, I took a chance on this manufacturer because of my saleslady at my local furniture store. This is a well made piece of furniture. The drawers are roomy and open and close easily. I bought the cherry the color is really nice, not too dark and not too red. I will be adding more of this line to my home. Pros: Substaintial piece, No assembly
