This is such a beautiful buffet/cabinet! The quality is outstanding...real wood. My 73 year old husband put it together as it is shipped as pieces and hardware. Took him almost a day to finish it. The instructions were very clear and precise. It is very modern looking and I love the metal legs or stands it sits on. I was a little disappointed that the price on it dropped about a $100 after I ordered it but such is life.
I hesitated on purchasing this cabinet because of the negative reviews about the assembly, but I am SO GLAD that I went ahead and bought it! Im not sure if somethings changed with the manufacturing or what, but I had no issues putting this piece together. Yes, there are lots of pieces and it takes a while, but I didnt have any of the issues with things not lining up. Wait, let me clarify...every time that I thought a piece wasnt lining up correctly, I double checked the directions and realized that it was ME who was doing it wrong!! There was more than one screw that I had to take back out because I had done something incorrectly. However, if you double and triple check the directions, you shouldnt have any issues! The pieces are very clearly labeled with letters and the hardware is labeled with numbers. Pretty easy to fasten A to B using screw 1 (or whatever). Way easier than an Ikea build, for sure.
The finished product looks SO GOOD in our home, I cant even tell you. Its solid, sturdy, and holds a ton of stuff!! The drawers slide smoothly and the doors stay closed with the help of magnets. If I had seen this piece in some furniture showroom, I would never have guessed it was an inexpensive, build-it-yourself kind of deal. This is a long term piece of furniture in our home and Im so glad that we picked this one out of the many options. Beautiful!!
You will definitely benefit from having 2 people to put this together. Also dont do what we did, be sure when you get to the step that requires you put the top in place that there is enough room to slide in the backboards. Its difficult to screw in the screws that hold the top in place so instead of unscrewing the top we had to trim the edge of the backing because the gap at the top was not wide enough. Its not so easy to put together, but buying it already assembled was much more so the savings were worth the aggravation. Looks very high quality once its together.
After reading the other reviews, I was sure to read the directions carefully. Turns out, it was a piece of cake. I’m not certain what others found difficult, but I assembled this by myself while drinking a beer and watching 4 episodes of Family Guy.
Chose not to install the wine glass rack in favor of additional storage space. Shown with the vacuum that fits underneath to charge.
I was looking for a retro styled cabinet to store my CDs in the family room. I was down to this and another one, and I order the other one first. While it looked great, it was build cheap and flimsy. I returned it and ordered this one for the same price. What a difference! This is solid, and has features I didnt expect, such as adjustable door hinges, and little things, such as plastic clips to keep the backboard from rattling. Very impressed.
I’m very happy with it! I really like the color, it’s a little different than the pictures show. It wasn’t very difficult to put together, the one thing I didn’t like was how the back piece is put together and the holes for the nails.

Perfect for what I needed
The color was perfect to go with my greige couch. Quality is nice for the price, but we handled with care as the top coating peels off if not careful.
