This chest is absolutely STUNNING! I purchased this 2 drawer chest initially to use as a nightstand in my master bedroom suite. However, upon receiving the item, I realized it was much too large given the space I needed to fill. The chest was VERY well packaged, only requiring the assembly of the legs, which was to be expected. It is made of a solid wood (or wood like material, I’m not positive on that) and so heavy that I could not carry it upstairs by myself. I was impressed that it comes with a kit to anchor to the wall to prevent it tipping over (should you put a TV on top of it or have a small baby as I do). The top of the chest is a rich brown, similar to a walnut finish. The outside is a creamy eggshell and the inset is the most beautiful robin’s egg blue. The distressing is well placed to give it an antique yet polished look. I was more than pleased with this chest and would highly recommend to anyone considering a purchase.
