This chest is GORGEOUS. The mirrored front gives just the right amount of elegance. I wanted to use it as a bedside table, but it looked slightly too big in the space (in front of a window,)  so I have it up against the wall, and I have a garden stool next to my bed. I have already received compliments. It is sturdy, packed carefully, and the only assembly required was screwing on the feet. It is roomy enough for baskets and books. So glad I got this on sale!
