The stars are for appearance only. The leather and brass are really striking.  But the construction is really poor.

The corner of one drawer was crushed. Okay some tape can cure that. But the second drawer was completely locked in and could not be pulled out. Almost as if the frame of the chest had been built around it.

That was solved by some creative deconstruction of the internal frame.

Finally, while attempting to dislodge the drawer one of the handles ripped out. That can probably be solved with superglue.

In order to unpack the chest the packing materials (which were quite good) had be destroyed. So I wasn't about to try to return it.

Overall, it is a striking addition to the room with the rich, distressed leather and the brass.

Pros: Gorgeous appearance. I like the drawers for storage.
Cons: Poor construction. Very large. Although it is the size as listed, it is very tall for use as a coffee table.
