Received the buffet within 3 days, was packed very well so ther was no damage. I was able to put it together myself in 3 hrs. Could have been faster with a second set of hands but I have experience putting together furniture kits. The directions weren't exactly accurate but was able to figure it out, just common sense.  Very well made, and the color fit in well with walnut antiques. And added all the additional storage I needed. Ordered a second one to mirror both sides of a window in my dining room!

Pros: Very sturdy and heavy to hold my antique China, color was true to photo
Cons: Drawing on directions didn't quite match actual hole positions
