I really liked this buffet online and it was exactly what i was looking for... assembly was a pain... probably about 4 hours, once of the pieces was missing predrilled holes so that slowed us down (had to drill it ourselves). Some of the drawers were an unnecessary pain to put together (holes did not align correctly...but in the end it does look nice. Though a friend did tell me that he got one very similar for 100$ less at a local furniture store... kind of annoying because I thought the price was great on here
