Armoire is beautiful. Unfortunately not sturdy enough to stand on it’s own. It definitely has to be secured and latched to the wall. Storage shelfs are smaller than they appear on the pictures. Drawers are nice and big, but, very fragile. The closet side is small as well. The way that is built, you can only hang a few items. Overall very fragile and could potentially break with weight. Not very practical if you cannot put weight in it. Might not be the best choice if you want storage. But, it is a beautiful piece if what you want is to add style to your bedroom. I purchased the blue color. Beautiful! But, not practical.
