I purchased this chest in "chocolate".  I was a little nervous about the color because it looks VERY dark in the picture, and was hoping it would be lighter in person...I was very happy when it arrived because it was lighter, a very beautiful walnut brown color with a very slight hint of cherry to the tone.  It was relatively easy to assemble, and is obviously a quality piece.  Do put a towel or sheet down on assembly surface so as to not scratch delicate finish!  Provides more storage than I was expecting.  I did change out the hardware to antique brass knobs, which further lightened the look of the piece and made it look more upscale...since the included knobs are somewhat clunky looking.  Would definitely purchase again, and worth the price!
