I read a caveat on here that this buffet is not solid wood.  No it's not.  It's beautiful and sturdy, just the same.  What do you expect for the price?  At the price I paid it was a steal.  It's exactly what I wanted; fits perfectly in the space I wanted to fill; holds everything I wanted to put in it; and looks awesome in my home.  It ties together my husband's traditional esthetic with my modern one.  I love it.  I'm thrilled that I found it at such a great price.

The piece took a bit of damage in shipping, but we took care of it with some furniture repair pencils.  You wouldn't notice the dings unless you were looking for them.  Heck, I can barely find them and I know exactly where they are.  The rustic look of the engineered wood is intentionally imperfect.  It's exactly what I wanted for my great room.
