The finished unit is nice and tall.  I love the color and the polished knobs.  On the downside, the assembly was not as easy for me as it was for others.  The glide on the middle drawer was warped and a screw was not secure which caused many scratches on the side of the drawer as I was trying to figure out why the drawer wouldnt go in all the way.  The scratches are highly visible as the panel is mdf, not wood.  The back of the unit is that flimsy cardboard material with a seam of tape down the middle to provide more support maybe.  It doesn't come off.  It would have been much nicer and easier to install had it been a thin piece of fitted wood.  But, I do like the finished chest for storing a few quilts and throws.
