The buffet came well packed and on time.  The finished product is very nice but putting it together was a nightmare.  My wife and I are not novices at putting together boxed furniture even IKEA madness.  This buffet took the cake as the fussiest item weve ever worked on.  It took both of us nearly 3 12 hours to complete.  Very frustrating. If you dont mind a hard project the end result is very nice.
