I cannot adequately express how much I love this piece of furniture! It is absolutely gorgeous and extremely well made. All the pieces are sturdy and heavy, I was surprised at just how heavy this server is overall. It arrived very carefully packaged. The instructions were easy to follow and all the parts were organized neatly. I have assembled dozens of pieces of furniture over the years but none have taken me as long as this took me. In total, I spent around 3-4 hours assembling it. I ran into an issue at the last couple steps with installing the doors. The predrilled holes on the server were not placed correctly. I didn't realize this until after I installed the doors and saw how they did not align with each other properly. I had to make new holes where the door hinges attach to the larger piece of furniture. Just take caution that the doors line up properly as you go.
