Good god, pay the extra money and have the thing expertly assembled. One of the parts was broken. I made the repair. The instructions are a nightmare. However, after a call to our marital therapist, we are confident everything will be ok.
Oh, the table looks lovely.
This is a remarkably solid piece of furniture, considering the price. It is not a veneer, but some kind of (heavy) stained hardwood. It took about 3 hours to assemble- using a phillips head screwdriver, power screwdriver, and the provided allen wrench. It arrives in 2 boxes- the top and all of the rest. Unfortunately, our top arrived split on one of the sides. I emailed the company- took a picture of the split- attached the invoice and they responded within 1 day. Within a week we had received the new top. Kudos to . We did not install the wine rack, but instead will use 2 open baskets. We need the storage space.
My 21 year old grandson just completed the building of this. Love the way it looks and how its made. Good quality. Only problem was the drawers screw holes. Some of them didn't line up perfectly but using a drill to put them in solved that problem.
Thanks to all of the others who reviewed this cabinet I was very prepared for the project when it showed up. You do have to put it together, and it does have some strange residue from the wrapping on the product, almost like fiberglass insulation residue looking. I was prepared with the vacuum cleaner so each piece that I took out of the box I cleaned off then wiped with a soft cloth. I set all the pieces out by label, used the directions as sent and the unit went together very nice in about 2 hours. I did this alone as well, with only a couple screw drivers! I also do not notice a horrible odor as one other review stated she had with her purchase. Very happy with the outcome. Good solid piece for the price and not a lot of effort in assembly if you tackle it as a project and unpack and sort in order of need.
Many parts are not solid wood, just veneered wood products. The parts that are real wood include the legs, the top which is pieced from shorter planks, and the door faces, thats about it. Cam screw and lock are tricky - you cant screw the screw all the way down tight, otherwise the lock wont fully lock. This is a design flaw. Color is darker than in the photo.
In the middle of assembly, I discovered one of the legs is missing the nuts required to tighten the leg into place. I'll update as soon as this is resolved.
1/21/2019 - I received the part on 1/17/2019. The server looks good, was relatively easy to assemble. It's a nice piece of furniture.
This buffet and hutch work great in our dining area! I was a little worried that it would take forever to put together (I read a review from someone who's husband spent 2 days putting it together) but it only took a few hours with me and my husband. It is sturdy and heavy and seems to be made from solid materials. While there were a couple cosmetic issues with a couple of corners, no glass was broken, all pieces were present, and we couldn't be happier overall.

Takes a while to put together, but well made ...
Takes a while to put together, but well made solid wood – even the insides of the drawers are solid. Looks a lot more expensive.
Pay to have it assembled!

Good Customer support.

Great piece
I love it. You do have to spend some time putting it together so if you are no the type, pay additional to get it done for you. The wood is very nice
Missing hardware in the leg

Great price. Worth it.
