I would say it is a statement piece.  I can't wait to accessorize it with pictures, a lamp and mirror possibly.  But I LOVE IT.  The only thing I don't like which is why I didn't give it 5 stars is the drawers don't pull out enough.  But not a deal breaker by any means.  It is pretty sturdy but if you have little ones that like to pull or grab then it might be good to anchor to the wall for more safety. 

The blue is a true navy blue - my pics make it seem black due to lack of sunlight.
