I got this as a substitution for my IKEA drawer chest (similar to this one). It's is taller; it takes about the same amount of space in the room; yet each shelf fits about twice less stuff than the IKEA's chest. The top shelf is taller than the other four by a few inches. The color is very, VERY nice, grayish/brownish. The chest is smooth and super easy to clean. Because of the color, you cannot see dust on it at all. And the best part, it comes assembled (although you do need to crew in the handles yourself, but it doesn't count)! Overall, I love it.
