Very nice buffet table! We bought this for our dining area to use as a cocktail bar, its going to work perfect. The handles are real metal/brass, but the legs are wood painted brass. It looks very classy. Others have stated it was hard to put together or the drawers/doors didn't quite line up, but I’m guessing thats user error. My husband built it with no problem and everything worked just great. If you get really really close and smell the wood, it does put off a gas/oil smell as others have stated, but honestly I don’t notice it otherwise when I’m sitting at my dining table.
