 Not too bad, but quality control is not doing their job!!! October 17, 2008
Cristina Urbizu (Austin, TX)
I ordered this for the office for more storage and counter space. All-in-all, it's not as bad as I was expecting, but quality control needs to check their items before shipping. One of the "Drawer Front" (G) was cracked on one corner, the "Support" (RR) had only one hole drilled in, which only allowed me to use one screw, the tab on one of the "Drawer Glides (DG) was broken off, and 2 of the 4 "Drawer Stop Pin" (DSP) were missing. I almost returned this product because of the service from FurnitureBuzz, but decided it was too much trouble to find another item.
An electric drill would come in handy as well...

I ordered this off amazon.com after reading reviews that were mostly favorable. I definitely think it was a good purchase. It is VERY heavy (~90 lbs) and I had a little trouble getting it up the stairs in my apt by myself, but I managed. It was fairly easy to put together, although it did take me almost 2 hours - but the directions were excellent. It came with all the pieces, and even had some extra screws and nails. It may help to have someone assist in assembly (mostly just to help turn it on its side, or hold the cabinet door up while you're attaching it). The drawer bottoms are sturdy cardboard, but is fine for filling it up with silverware. This product adds extra counter space (which I had none of) and looks nice in an apartment. The top has a wood-esque top but didn't seem flimsy and is "butcherblock-like." I wouldn't chop directly on it, but with a cutting board it's fine.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because when I attached the doors they're not completely straight, athough if I played around with it enough I could probably get them straighter, it would just be very difficult and may take a little more time.
I didn't have a power drill and just used a hand held philips head screwdriver and it worked great. This product seems sturdy.
I recommend it.
 Great for quick storage! June 11, 2008

This buffet is great looking, easy to assemble and really is just deep and wide enough to take care of that "extra" stuff that always accumulates in one's kitchen. Very well constructed and very handsome. Love it!

We bought this for our kitchen. It was not too difficult to put together. The handles are cheap, so I bought some to match the rest of my kitchen. Now, it looks great. I hightly recommend it for a little extra storage space. We use the top drawer for writing utensils, scissors, tape, etc. The 2nd drawer is for phone books. It is a very attractive piece.

Target.com was actually selling this one for awhile (I ended up buying mine through Creative Interiors anyways though - it was less expensive, even with shipping.)
At one time, I do recall that this Buffet was advertised as having a Butcher Block Top (which now 'more accurately reads' Butcher Block Top Look.) It was for this reason alone that I initially made the purchase, but thank goodness I did. Had I known up front that I wasn't getting Butcher Block, I would have never given this Buffet a chance.
If you have a small Kitchen or are in need of some additional storage space - this is something I would recommend hands down. For the price, you get a piece of furniture that looks like it's worth far more than it is ($150 is nothing for a buffet.)
In the large cabinets, you'll get adjustable wooden shelves. Very sturdy and great for storing away kitchen appliances. I manage to fit my bread pans, dual sized toaster, George Forman, Crockpot, cutting board, my large braising pan, blender and beater - with some room to spare. The smaller cabinet to the right fits my large Tupperware (that I store dry rice in) and my rice cooker - again with room to spare. I keep a small tool box in one of the drawers, and the other drawer is just a collection of odds and ends.
Again... as the top is not real Butcher Block, don't get any ideas about slicing and dicing fruits and vegetables on it. However, it does do a great job of simulating real Butcher Block (which matches the Butcher Block trim on my counter tops), and it's easy to dress up with a decorative bowl filled with fruits. The back of the buffet is pressboard (keep it up against a wall, no one will know), and the drawer runners are made of plastic (which concerned me at first, but they manage just fine.)
Assembly is required. You'll need a screwdriver, hammer and some patience. I'm 105 pounds and managed to wiggle walk this up my front porch and into my family room on my own (heavy box), and had it fully assembled in about 2 1/2 hours. It would probably take less time with an electric screwdriver (and save you a blister or two.) Takes awhile to get the cabinet doors to properly align (hinges offer a lot of tweaking room) - but they'll line up fine if you're diligent.
By far - the best piece of inexpensive furniture I have ever owned.
