I ordered Dark Chestnut Brown but its super dark. I think they sent me the black one. Oh well, it already assembled. I like it and the instructions were easy to follow. No flaws. Extra hardware included. Very stylish and great quality!
Very pleased. I wanted a smaller buffet for my dining room. Perfect color, size and sturdiness. It was easy to assemble and looks great! Im really impressed with the quality of the materials. I highly recommend it. SO happy!
It was more expensive than I had expected to pay, but the quality, beauty and sturdiness are MORE than well worth it. When you see it, you would never believe it didnt come from a high end furniture store. I, however, had a handyman assemble it, cause theres no way on Gods Green Earth that I could have done it. But even with that cost added, Im still thrilled with it. Very impressed with the quality.
We were concerned that this would look cheap, but it is very sturdy and solidlooks like a much more expensive piece of furniture. Very well made, and the instructions were more clear and complete than weve seen with other home assembly units. Spare parts included, though we didnt need any. Assembly was a solid two hours of work, but everything went together very well. Tip: drill at least one of the holes for each hinge to provide a more stable start to attach the doors. We will definitely look for when we need our next accent piece! Much better than expected
For a do/it/yourself assembly of a furniture kit, this one is a bit of a challenge. First, let me say that the whole kit is quite heavy so you may want to unpack all the pieces from the shipping box and take them somewhere for assembly. That said, it is intelligently and carefully packed and protected inside. Nothing was scuffed or damaged, thanks to all the styrofoam and cardboard and foam wrap. The instructions are fairly clear but if you have never assembled something using this type of connector, you will find it a little confusing until you get the hang of it. All pieces are well labelled and all holes are predrilled and ready for connectors. Be aware that some of the predrilled holes for the pin connectors are about 1/32 under sized and require enlarging with the proper size drill bit.
Do not think this is a solid wood product. Many pieces are some sort of composite covered with a very convincing wrap that looks like wood grain. There were several voids or knotholes in my particular set that were filled and sanded perfectly smooth with some kind of filler that left a seamless and smooth/feeling finish. You might not even have noticed them since they were closely color/matched, except for the fact that the wood grain was missing and therefore a bit conspicuous if you notice that sort of thing.
With basic tool skills and a few extra tools to supplement the small wrench and screwdriver included with the hardware kit, you can put this together by yourself. All the pieces of hardware are separately packed in little bags labelled with a number that corresponds to the numbered step in the directions. There is even an additional little bag with extras of everything, which is a good thing because they shorted me one of the connectors for the shelves. All in all, I was amed at the close tolerances and how everything came together straight and without any tweaking necessary. (I hate things crooked / just ask my wife who calls me a perfectionist, and probably other things when Im not listening.)
One more note: as with a lot of things that come on a slow boat from China, the cabinet smells but the odor seems to be dissipating.
Plan on 1 / 1 1/2 hrs to assemble. If you had to turn around and do a second one, it would take you half that time. Recommended for anyone with basic handyman skills. Very pretty.
We wanted a cabinet for our entryway and this cabinet is perfect. Its very sturdy and well built and assembly was fairly easy with two people. Its exactly what we were looking for. Just make sure you set aside at least 3 hours for assembly. What a great buy!
It took me a little over 2 hours to assemble using the very clear instructions. The vendor thoughtfully enclosed a bag of spare hardware which I did not need. It was nice to have a backup in case I lost a part during assembly. Doors and drawers fit well and operate smoothly. The piece is made of solid pine and is finished very well. It took 2 weeks to arrive. I should have waited a while to order it and saved about 50. Unfortunately, doesnt offer price protection. Some reviews have complained about durability. I dont see anything in this piece that looks like its going to break. If it does, I will repost. Im enjoying it so far!
