This buffet is absolutely gorgeous!  It has a painted finish, not a smooth finish, which I actually like better.  It is a large piece that is now the focal point of the room.  It is extremely solid and well made and the drawers are also very roomy and lined which is a nice feature for smaller items.  The feet also have levelers to adjust if necessary.  I am very impressed with the overall quality and I know I will enjoy this buffet for many years.
