We have had these chests for almost a year now.   The drawers slide pretty well.   One drawer required materials from a hardware store to fix.   I called Wayfair about the problem, and they refunded some of the purchase money for our troubles.  The piece is beautiful and most people say something about them when they are in the room.   We did have a glass company to place a protective piece on top of the mirror which helps to protect the mirrored finish but does not interfere with the glam look.   I am very happy I made this purchase.
