I ordered this item assembled...and when it arrived unassembled, Wayfair promptly discounted the item enough for me to put this beautiful piece together.  24 pieces, an upbeat playlist, and over 2 hours later, it was ready to go!  Super high quality, fairly clear directions, and it totally ties the room together.  Thanks, Wayfair, for the steep discount and lovely buffet.  5 stars if it had arrived assembled.
