This is a fine dining buffet. It appears exactly as pictured. I believe the description should include measurements for the drawers and cupboard as well. This would have been really useful for me as two items I intended to put in the buffet (crock pot) turned out to be too big. Otherwise, this buffet is a welcomed addition to my dining room. Construction was much more difficult than it should have been. The instructions represent all the pieces but they do not indicate top/bottom or inside/outside. This is important because the pre-drilled holes for screws will work even if the piece is upsidedown. I ended up taking apart the buffet three times after realizing I had screwed a piece together incorrectly. The instructions do provide enough detail to prevent this. Also, some pieces are not cut to precise measurements. The shelves on the ends have metal rods to keep glasses in place. In my case, some of these rods were a hair too long, which scratches the sides. Despite the construction woes, I am happy with my purchase. I mean, you only have to build it once then you enjoy it forever. I would recommend this buffet to others with the clear warning about construction.

Im so happy! With my buffet table, everything in one! I'm a wine drinker so this is perfect next to my dining room. Very easy access and very impressive storage spaces. Let's it arrived in leass than a week, it took less than an hour for me and my husband to set it up and after we very very impressed! I can't believe the prie is so cheap for a beautiful furniture and good quality., usually those don't come together but for my buffet table it came with all those features.

This buffet looks great and has a lot more space than you would think. We were able to fit a ton of stuff in it. The only downside is the assembly. The instructions were a little vague. Other than that awesome.

when the box came, it was HEAVY! but that's usually a good thing since you know it's not made of cheap material. make sure to open the box carefully as I got too excited and accidently cut into the wood when I was opening the box. Putting it together takes some time, but its not rocket science. the color is gorgeous and it looks awesome in my living room.

This dining buffet has so many uses, I haven't utilized all the space yet. It's tastefully designed and very well made. I assembled it pretty quickly when it arrived, which wasn't that hard. Just remember to read the instructures carefully and its gravy from there.

I was looking for a piece that I could use in my entry way very unsuccessfully. When I saw the buffet I thought that it would work perfectly for what I needed and then in the future it would be great for a dinning room (which I don't have now). Considering the price, the quality is excellent. My husband put it together in about 2 hours. He thought the instructions would have been difficult for someone else that maybe didn't have much experience with that kind of thing. Anyways, if you are looking for a great storage piece for you dining room I definitely recommend this one. For the price, it can't be beat.

My biggest worry about this was that it wouldn't match the dark cherry color of my other furniture. My second concern was that the cheap price would equal cheap quality. However, the color was perfect, and it is very sturdy! The biggest problem I had is that it arrived without any instructions. Between the pieces of the buffett and the hardware, there are probably about 100-150 pieces, and all I had was a picture to use. After several tries and days, I finally did receive the manual, but I had already managed to piece it together by then. One of the roller strips on the side of a drawer had been wripped out, so I had to use different screw holes. Now that drawer doesn't line up perfectly with the rest of the unit, but its a minor enough detail that I will live with it. There is more than enough storage space, and you can adjust the shelves to three or four different heights. This allowed me to fit taller items such as water pitchers and beer steins on the lower shelves. Plus a lot of the inside space is saved because you can store your wine and martini glasses on the railed side shelves. Overall, the product isn't perfect, but it is still close enough that for this price, it is more than worth it!

I did receive one broken piece but luckily it was a piece that is not seen and was repaired with gorilla glue. It was very time consuming to put together. Overall it is a beautiful piece of furniture.

The only issue was the assembly. It took my friend and I (two smart females) four or five hours to put this together. The instructions weren't great and had no words. Once we figured it out, it was smoother sailing, but it took a bit. I also don't agree with the order of the instructions. Once assembled, it looks great and is exactly what I wanted and needed in my dining area. I love it!

This is a great looking dining buffet after you finish assembling it. The quality of the product is good and should last a number of years. Installation can be tricky as it is by diagram only and the diagrams do not contain pictures of the drill holes. Look on the edges of the wood panels to see their numbers. They are usually stamped in red ink. Oddly, two of the panels had stickers on them with the numbers. Also, I feel that they mixed up one of the diagrams because when I got to the door installation, it seems like the panels were put on backwards; it was easy to simply turn around the pieces, but an annoyance nonetheless. Reading other reviews, it seems like quite a few people had this problem. They give you the EXACT amount of parts necessary. I was actually missing two tiny springs for the metal rods that hold the glasses in place. Hopefully the manufacturer will be able to send replacements, or I am sure I can find a similar part in a local hardware store. It took me about 2 hours alone to complete assembly and to take the trash out. After getting through the installation, you will be rewarded with a great looking buffet. Great purchase but good luck with the assembly!!

As many other reviewers mentioned, this was HARD to assemble. I've put together many *** products in my life and have never had as hard of a time as I did with this... The main issue is that the assembly instructions don't indicate where the pre-drilled holes are, so you have to figure it out yourself. After we figured out that we had the two side pieces facing the wrong direction (again, no marking for the holes, so very easy to mix up), it only took an hour or so to assemble (two people). It's a beautiful piece. I will say that the glass holders on the sides are not tall enough to fit our red wine glasses (which are 9 inches tall) - so that was a bummer - and the internal storage space is smaller than expected.... I can't fit my serving dishes in it. Aside from that, we'll get good use out of it. Excellent for the price!

Nice buffet when put together. Comes in a million pieces, thankfully I like to construct things so it was a piece of cake to put together. It will take a couple of hours to construct but quality is good and all pieces fit together snug. I think it is a lovely product for the price.

This is the worst do it yourself project I have ever encountered. The instructions are in very poorly illustrated drawings. Needs to have instructions in English not just pictures. Upon asking customer service for assistance, they finally (after days of waiting) sent me an email copy of the drawing instructions, but an outdated version I will think twice about purchasing any need to assemble items from now on.

Nice, comtemporary buffet unit. Actual color is darker than represented in photo. The instructions are, however, very poor and hard to follow. The illustrations of various parts do not match the parts themselves. Whoever the artist was, is extremely lazy to not draw the various holes and identifying characteristics of each piece. The instructions are also incomplete. For a couple of parts I just had to "guess" and thankfully I guessed right otherwise I would have had to take apart a couple things and reinstall them, adding 30 minutes to the task. All together, took about 2.5 hours to assemble. Quality is very good except for the doors are very difficult to get to fit flush with the drawers. I would buy again just because I like the way it looks.
