L-O-V-E this buffet!  I'm using it as extra storage in my kitchen.  All pieces arrived in perfect condition and no pieces were missing.  I think it definitely takes 2 people to assemble.  I got through most of it myself, but there was a time or two that I needed to flip the piece and no way I could have done it on my own.  I used a ratcheting screwdriver, but would have preferred a cordless drill.  Still, I love putting pieces together and this one was s lot of fun and really satisfying!  Instructions were clear.  It took me a total of 5 hours, I think?  Great quality overall, drawers and cabinet door all close nicely.  I added interior shelf liner to protect the wood.  So happy with this piece!
