I like this buffet for the added storage it gives us. I am using it as a barstorage for entertaining needs (serving bowls and platters, table cloths, etc.). However, it was a pain to assemble. I have put together dozens of flat-packed furniture pieces in my day, and this was comparably more difficult than most. The instructions were pretty vague. The quality of this piece is just ok, but it seems sturdy enough. I need to get replacement glass for the cabinet door, because I received a pane that was cut just slightly too big. Overall I like the look and the function.
