The buffet arrived on time and was packaged very professionally. The color is darker then I thought it would be. It's more on the black side but it matches some other furniture so that worked out pretty well.  It sits lower then I realized it would and reminds me more of a TV stand more then a buffet.  The hinges for the doors were a little difficult to figure out and put on mostay because the directions are just pictures, grainy pictures. But it is finished and looks nice. I would have preferred it to be taller but it's still a nice piece...
