Directions are not in a step by step procedure of how to put this piece together. It is definitely a two man job to put it together. After my husband had already spent several hours working on it,  it took another three hours of work to complete it without the wine rack section being put in.  We hired a remodeler, paying him by the hour, to help with completing this unit because I had already ordered the matching serving cart to coordinate the look in our kitchen and didn't want this buffet sitting partially put together and the cart then needing to be put together. Company needs to get someone to rewrite their directions and  I am wondering how the directions will be for the matching serving cart.  This buffet does look nice and no blemishes at all on it. Well wrapped and arrived right on time by Wayfair.
