A coat of paint would clean it up nicely if it bothered you. This is made of wood not mdf and is relatively easy to move as the drawers come out easily making it light enough for 2 people to pick up no worries. All drawers open and shut easily, one of the smaller drawers faces could do with some wood glue but is functioning fine. It is 420mm deep, 940mm wide and 1300mm high. Pickup only from Blockhouse Bay. Bank deposit preferred
