We received our new buffet in good time. Of course assembly takes time and patience but the instructions were sufficient to make it relatively easy, although time consuming. All of the parts were in the box and none of the wood pieces were damaged. It was packaged well enough for it to survive its journey to our house. We are using it as a TV stand and it serves that purpose well. I wanted the TV to be up higher since this home has an open floor plan and in order to view the TV from other areas clearly, it need elevated. I just didn't want to attach it to the wall. There is sufficient storage in the bottom of the buffet for DVDs....lots of them ......or other items you may want to tuck away, out of sight. And there's plenty of space on the open shelf for the cable box and a DVD player. All in all, I'm pleased with my purchase.
