I bought 2 of these to use as bedside chests in my French styled guest bedroom to take the place of a large dresser. The bedroom is fairly small at 10.5’ x 11.5’ , so using these on both sides of the queen bed makes the room seem larger and they really are statement pieces. They are a perfect distressed blue-gray color and the gold is a warm, darker gold. They are PERFECT and I could not be happier!
