Im very pleased with this purchase. The buffet came securely packaged and in a short period of time. Im a 60+ female, not terribly handy, and I was able to put this together. The instructions recommend 2 people, but I was able to do it by myself. The instructions couldve been a bit clearer, but they were fine. As other people mentioned, it is antique white. This was perfect as my dining area has a antique white farmhouse table and chairs. Some people mention that it was too low, but one of the good things about this item is that it in the description it contained a diagram with all the dimensions inside and out. I wish all online furniture would do that. Im the kind of person that will get a cardboard box to simulate the item so I knew exactly how tall it was going to be. Again it worked out perfectly for me. For those people who said it was too low, they can get furniture legs at Home Depot to increase the height. I decided to stain the top of the buffet to match my table and chairs. I used Minwax poly shade. Big mistake. Im going to have to redo it or purchase a piece of wood to substitute for the top and stain it as I would a solid piece of wood. Ive used regular stain in the past over painted furniture. It takes a long time to dry but it works beautifully. The Minwax polyshade was too difficult to use . So the photo shows the buffet with my attempted stained top. Although you cant see from the photo, it should be redone. All in all this is a great Buffet for the money. By the way I drilled holes in the doors and added knobs. All in all, I give it five stars. Yea, a place to store my seldom used dishes and glassware! Simple to put together.
Great buffet! Perfect! A bargain as well.
