Looks and works well, but a pain to assemble.
Not waiting to have any more particle board furniture at home, I went for this solid wood buffet cabinet. This furniture is quite sizable (we live in NYC), heavy (of course) and looks great. For the price, this was the best looking and not-Ikea-furniture piece I could get. The buffet provides ample storage space, and with non see through doors you don't have to worry about all the random stuff you put in.
Now, the assembling was a pain in the rear. The instructions are really not the best and you get screw up easily if you are not careful with the door hinge hardware (there are two types... the instructions are not too clear on that!), you can spend an hour or two trying to adjust the doors pieces. Same with the backboard.
The color is what I expected. Personally I don't think the picture here misrepresented. This is a good piece to have, it is neutral and I wasn't going for something epic.
