After thinking about purchasing this buffet for awhile, I'm so glad I finally did. It is a nice solid piece of furniture with clean, simple lines and it looks more expensive than the cost. It was the perfect fit for our newly redecorated living room that is blue and grey colors (including the cozy silver shag rug from Great Offer Stock, which is awesome) - it looks updated and modern. The wood is kind of soft but it's all solid wood (except the back) - I prefer that over particleboard and veneer at this price. And it's delivered right to your door!
When I opened the first box, my initial thought was "this is brown!" but once it is all put together the overall effect and color is brown with a subtle grey-toned color wash over it which I think the color accurately depicts. The brown/grey was what I expected so I am pleased with the color and like that it's different from typical wood colors or stains. Assembly was pretty typical for flat-pack furniture (to give credit where it's due, my husband always makes it look easy), directions were clear and everything was labeled. Very happy with this buffet!
