It was a big job to put it together and (as others have said) it is difficult to get the 3 doors aligned.  The hinges are of cabinet quality and it seems solid.  The main reason I bought this was that the previous sideboard/buffets that I had purchased didn't have a drawer or shelf long enough for standard placemats to be stored.  I moved those into the bedrooms and this Turcotte Dining Buffet has two long shelves that stretch the entire length of the piece.  This is for a nightly rental at the beach and there is apsce for jigsaw puzzles an games in this buffet as well
