The storage chest is ok and it serves a purpose. The reason for the mediocre rating is that it’s unnecessarily complicated to put together. The quality control needs to improve as holes are misaligned. As others noted, there are necessary drill holes needed that are not there. The wood is soft but you will need a power drill to screw the drawers together. So, if you are into woodworking and putting together projects then this is the storage unit for you. If you are more like me and prefer a more simplified approach to ready to assemble furniture, then keep looking.
