I ordered this in the gray. Some posters have said it appeared lavender that wasn't my experience at all.
 Its a nice shade of gray. I did end up painting the top gray to match. I found the raw wooden top too country/rustic for my style. I now LOVE it! Super easy just put the legs on and it was together. I recommend this chest! I was a bit nervous after reading some of these reviews. Have no regrets!
