There's a lot to love about this chest especially the carved design on the front, the feet details and that it's sturdy. It works very well for me. but I do have two issues with it. One is the method used to create a distressed look. It's two colors of paint and not bare wood as would typically occur in older furniture and the random distressed areas are not so random, in fact very patterned and far too even. I've gone through and attempted to change the pattern as much as I can. Secondly, the door closures are a little off and I had to move one of them to make the doors close evenly. I still like the overall look of the piece and it holds all of my china and much of my serve ware so is doing a great service while overall looking unique which suits my tastes.
