Not "exactly" what I had hoped but also a nice match to other furniture and drawers move nicely.  I "thought" from the reviews that this would be a really solid piece of furniture, but it does have the MDF backing and MDF drawer bottoms that you see all the time now.  It "is" real wood for the rest, however.  Overall, for the price, I think it's a reasonable deal, just not quite the level of quality I thought we were getting.  Looks lovely next to the old antique Italian headboard we were trying to match.
