This bedroom set was such a cute design that I bought it despite some mediocre reviews of the dresser. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and look of the set. It was fairly easy to put together. The finish is a satin soft white (not glossy or matte, not bright white) and it has brush strokes in the finish to look like it was hand painted. The drawer slides easily (not soft close, but not expected at this price). The nightstand is a little tall in comparison to the bed, but I think I probably needed a thicker mattress and box spring so that's my own fault. I wasn't a huge fan of the brown (antique bronze?) knobs the set came with, so I bought some glass knobs and it looks a lot better.
