I wanted a quality wood buffet that I didn't have to assemble. It had to be durable so I didn't have to buy a new one within 2 years. This piece fit the bill. It is sleek and modern while being a very heavy duty piece of furniture. I am lucky that I ordered delivery where they had to put it in the room. It is very stable on my carpet and it holds more than I thought it would. I love the color of it so it matches with all the gray tones in my home. I highly recommend this sideboard.
