I thought about returning this multiple times. First when I opened the box and there were some odd streaking stains on the cabinet front pieces. Then again while I battled putting this piece together. I have put many items like this together before and never struggled the way I did with this buffet. Fortunately they send you a large bag of extra cams, dowels ect which I ended up using. N ow that it is finally assembled and in place you dont notice the odd streaks at all and it is quite sturdy. I have received many compliments and Im mostly glad that I didnt burn it in my fireplace during the construction process.
