The quality is pretty good, mostly solid wood and veneered pieces.  The only downside was, it is a bit complicated to assemble.  You need a large open area in which to work and patience.  Lay the pieces out before you secure anything, consult the instructions (which are pretty good) frequently.  The end result is a nice looking, decent quality piece of furniture. It took me the better part of a day and some assistance to put this together. I checked similarly styled items that were much more expensive.  In the end, I am quite happy with the buffet.
