This piece is AMAZING. Anyone knowing quality furniture would appreciate this beautiful sideboard. No assembly other than attaching the handles. Solid, beautiful wood. We had searched for 6 months for a replacement for our outdated monster china cabinet, which just collected dust and served no purpose other than storage. When first viewed, I felt it was a bit pricey, but once we received it, I totally knew we had made the right decision. I wish everything I've ordered online was of this high quality. It pays to shop around.
