I love this chest! It is the perfect size for a larger bedside table that makes a nice statement. I am able to fit a large lamp, a few pictures and some other small decorative items on top. Please keep in mind when purchasing that this is not a dresser, and is not going to function as a dresser would (drawers are not full size).  With that in mind, I am small & wear small clothes & can fit 10 sweaters in a drawer. The piece came assembled which was a huge plus and is a nice heavy material.
