This accent chest is incredible! It would look great in any home that has a beach, cottage, farm, or rustic vibe. The chest is light weight enough to move around to your desired location. No assembly required, which is awesome! I have placed it outside the bathroom door to be used for my husband's dirty clothes so that it is not visible if guests are staying over. Top door of the chest opens and closes smoothly with no squeak. The metal is a dark brown. It is very sturdy. Wood is too thin to be sat on. Handles on the sides can be used to move the chest without concern the handles will fall off. Very nicely put together item. I highly recommend!
