The chest came 90% assembled, only needing the feet put on. It is at the perfectly awkward size of being just heavy enough to require team lift, and being a unique piece than can't be easily lifted from the top and bottom. Once unboxed, the rotating base makes moving the chest more difficult. We used a very heavily padded hand truck dolly to move it up a flight of stairs, which was the most difficult aspect of this chest for us. The drawers are on tracks with rubber stoppers that have to be pressed up or down to release them. The drawers are light weight, but reasonable quality. If I were to do this again, I'd leave this one boxed until it was in the final space. The final piece is striking -- it sits a bit into the room as it has to rotate outside it's base's footprint. So it's about 4" off the wall. I do wish the mirror's angle was adjustable to any degree, as tall people end up only looking at their legs. Overall, I'm very happy with this chest, but I'm really glad that I measured out the space of the chest before I bought it, to understand it's actual size. It is smaller than some photos make it appear. It is free-standing, and I don't think it can be safety strapped to any wall. We knew what we were getting, and this is what we were looking for, a little extra storage space for lighter clothing, with the benefit of being a statement in itself with a neat little trick (the hidden mirror and rotating top). I could see some people being rather disappointed with this if they didn't understand the actual size of it.. Anonymous. Sun Nov 17 2024
