This buffet table is an example of excellent craftsmanship for a flat-pack furniture piece requiring assembly. Everything about it is heavy, thick, and over-engineered. Not only are the doors solid and thick, but they have re-enforcing wood slats running vertically on the inside portion of the door. The metal legs can double as weightlifting equipment, and they are secured to the bottom of the cabinet with no less than 6 bolts with locking and regular washers. Even the thin back panel is of higher quality then you typically expect from flat-pack furniture, as it's actually wood, not a cardboard-like substance. And did I mention the entire thing is real wood? Well, you do get what you pay for. This looks great in my eat-in kitchen with my 4' round mid-century modern table.
