I put this together and it looks really great in our cafe room. The process of assembly was easier when I obtained a longer hex key to use in place of the short one that came with the hardware package. I was impressed on the packaging when the buffet arrived it was well protected even though the delivery came with a chuck of the exterior box damaged no damage occurred to the inside contents. There are about 450 pieces to this unit with the extensive hardware package. I only encountered one problem and that was a cabinet door that had a hole which was partially stripped. The directions are all given by piece type and number, no wording just assembly examples for each step.
