The chest when it was all put together was as expected. What wasn’t expected was that you had to build the whole thing including the 5 drawers. If you didn’t have an electric screwdriver it would take days. My daughter and I put it together and it was a challenge. There are no words on the directions just very insufficient pictures. It took two people to hold pieces together and try to make out the very poor directions.  Would not recommend this for someone who was not very  handy..
