The Wade Logan® Russet Sideboard Buffet is a good, practical piece for an affordable price. It goes together like any Ikea-type piece of furniture; all you need is a Phillips-head screwdriver and an hexagonal wrench, which is provided. I managed to assemble the entire piece myself in about four hours with few problems. It has lots of storage space, which is why we purchased it. It has a flat black finish with chrome accents, which will fit in with most modern decors. The wood itself is pressboard; not the highest quality. Which is why I can't give it a solid *****.
