We received the chest very quickly and it was fully assembled. The chest fits perfectly in our mudroom and holds our scarves, gloves, mittens and miscellaneous items. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the handles on the chest were all crooked and the two front legs were slightly marred on the bottom. My husband straighten out the handles so it looks much better now but we still have to touch up the legs with a little white paint. Overall, the chest is fine for a mudroom but I wouldn't use it in any other room because it looks kind of cheap.
