I won't lie, I mainly purchased this because of the reviews + it did NOT require assembly - but it is also very beautiful to me.  I needed something to store dishes and silverware in my dining room so I can easily set the table, yet it needed to add a pop of character and color.  I feel this buffet table does both really well.  Shelves inside can not be removed so I can't put my wine glasses inside but I may just install a shelf above to display and keep them within arms reach as well.
Just what I wanted - instant gratification.  Very heavy so need of course two people to unwrap.  No dings, scratches or flaws.  Was packaged very well.
