We use this buffet as a home/bar wine/liquor storage and glassware storage.  It is perfect for this use.  We are very impressed with the quality and looks of this item. Now I would say that you need 2 people to assemble this product and I would highly recommend that you go step by step..do not assume that you can rush...we did at the end and had to redo in one step...this would not have happened if we did not jump ahead... other than that it is pretty easy to put together if you have done furniture like this before.
