This buffet requires assembly and we were quite puzzled when there was no instructions how to put one of the planks at the bottom of the buffet. In addition it was strange that one (front) plank was already attached and another (back) was not. Then we could find only three remaining screws while there are five holes. After closer look we found out that two screws are inside the plank, and one of the screws is broken. And the bottom of the buffet looked like the plank was just ripped off. Also one of the inner parts is badly scratched and slightly painted over. I was strongly considering returning the buffet, but we desperately needed something in our kitchen, so we could not wait another two-three weeks for receiving a new one.

So, overall, I like the buffet, it's made of good wood and even wine rack is solid and not flimsy. However, if you order it, check VERY carefully for damage!

The good news:

This looks fantastic and is perfect for holding wine, accessories, glasses, whatever you need. I have received many compliments on it and I'm very happy with its appearance.

The unit is very sturdy and made of solid material.

They give you an extra of each kind of screw just in case.

The bad news:

I pride myself on being good at putting together furniture and this thing was a BEAST to build. The instructions are not paced well and have multiple steps squished together into one step. I did most of it by myself but I needed my husband to hold some of the bigger, heavier pieces in place while I secured screws.

The screws and locknuts are poor quality. I had one locknut break as I tightened it and nearly all of the screws were stripped by the time I got them all the way in.

The space for the drawer on the left is a little too tight and the drawer needs some force to move in and out.

The space for the drawer on the right was too small for the drawer to fit at all. I double checked and I had definitely constructed the unit correctly as all the dowels were in place and everything else was lined up as it should be. This drawer space was just about a centimeter too narrow. I actually had to deconstruct the drawer and take a saw to the back and internal front pieces and narrow it, then screw it back together to make it fit. It works great now and you can't tell that I made any changes, but what a pain in the butt.

Overall:

If you have the patience and determination to force this thing together it's a great piece of furniture and a reasonable price, but be prepared for a heck of a chore.

The unit itself is nice for the price, but I was appalled to find mine had arrived with a damaged board on the side that someone unsuccessfully tried to cover up. There are two very obvious large gouges in the wood that have been painted over sloppily. Because it would be a huge hassle to re-package this buffet and return it, I'm going to put that board against a wall where it can't be seen and hope I don't have to move it one day, but this manufacturer was dishonest in taking my money and sending me a board that someone at the company knew was damaged. I'll think twice before ordering anything from this supplier again. We all work too hard for our money to be ripped off this way. What a disappointment.

Honest reviews on Medium Cherry Server

I received this buffet and the right door was slightly warped and would not close completely.. I thought I could live with it but decided to try and replace it. The 3 month warranty had expired. However, I contacted the company and requested a replacement door and was willing to pay for it and S&H. The company said they could not provide replacement parts.

I just assembled this buffet. The Middle Panels were mislabeled, and middle panel C was missing the plastic inserts on the 2 outer holes to that the cam lock screw could screw into it. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying wood dowels and putting them in the holes. Hopefully this will be enough to hold the shelf in place.

The 3 drawer handles came with screws and handles in a bag. One of the handles had the wrong screws (they were too short). I had to call to get the correct screws. Not an easy piece to assemble, but very attractive once it's all together. It scratches easily as well, so assemble with care.
