Wood Olde-Worlde Euro 3-drawer Console Chest (China)

This is pretty in appearance but fools the eye when examined. It is very cheaply made. The leather, whether it is faux or not is thin. It is adhered to the top, drawers and sides and is printed with a nice pattern of color. The leather tends to want to come off at the edges if this piece gets any sun so I don't suggest you put it near a window and it will most likely fade in strong daylight over time. With the intended character, one tends to want to put this in a place that gets light and people can see it, but I find myself making appologies for purchasing it. The drawers do not slide easily, were not sanded well on the top edge so small slivers are visible. The wood is extremely brittle!! I will have to resand the edges which will help the drawers to close easier as well. The drawers would not be trusted holding anything heavier than table linens or light clothing. If you want a piece that has nice lines and character ONLY at a glance, and have money to waste, then buy it , but if you want something that won't fall apart and disappoint down the road, I'd pass on this. This piece does not live up to it's price at all. This is the first furniture purchase I've been truly disappointed with from Overstock. I'd rewrite the item description to highlight "leather wrapped and let the customer know there are no metal runners for drawer slides. Rather be forthright than deceptive or remiss in giving a clearer description. There is too much competition out there.

• Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Cheap, brtttle wood, poor adhesive holding leather in place, drawers are glued poorly and no slide mechanisms. Looks more stenciled rather than "handpainted". Design is nice though.
• How accurate was the sizing? accurate
