I decided to purchase this buffet after reading the reviews and comparing it to other items this size and in the same price point. I have to say that from a distance it looks like the photos, I now understand why there are no close up shots though. The quality is no where near what I was expecting and a few pieces came damaged, nothing I can't hide but still a disappointment. For a small space it works and the added storage is nice. 

The directions are a little tricky so give yourself time to put it together, and its probably best for two people.
