This buffet came fully assembled!  The delivery people unboxed the piece, brought it into the house and placed it in the room, and took the boxes away.  There was no mess whatsoever!  They were great.  The piece itself is sturdy,  The drawers open and close easily and fit perfectly.  One drawer is lined for silverware.  The doors are aligned, and the hardware is nice.  We are well-pleased with this purchase.
