The buffet itself is amazing. Easy to assemble, granted you are savvy with this kind of thing. Some of the instructions were misleading on where to place dowels. Ours was missing the center back panels, but we decided it wasn’t a huge deal and continues with assembly. It’s a great sturdy piece for the price. Looks enough like real wood to make me happy. I wish it was a little richer in the brown hues (we bought barnwood and I had to double check that it wasn’t driftwood)
