I had this server in my cart for a couple of months. I kept going back and forth because of the reviews. It came a couple days ahead of schedule, which thats always great and didn’t come damaged. I ordered the vintage walnut and the final product looks like the photos on the website. It took me about 4 hours to assemble as I did most by myself. It is a lot to assemble but follow the instructions step by step and you should have no problems. The 4 hour assembly was worth it to see the final product! It’s a great piece!
