The chest of drawers presents with a darker, richer color than the bed side cabinets, as visible in the catalogue illustration.

On the nightstand shown on the right in the catalogue illustration, there is a dark circle measuring 6 inch in diameter. The rosewood veneers overall with few scattered surface scratches, light surface dirt and some minor edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use.
