I purchased this storage cabinet for my dining area for the purpose of storing seasonal items such as dishware and linens. The product arrived securely packaged and was delivered according to the estimate provided by the shipper. The package contents were well-protected and arrived without any visible damage. The wood is particle board covered with veneer, which is mentioned in the item description. The product measures as described and appears exactly as shown in the listing. Overall, the buffet cabinet is really quite nice given the affordable price point. I paid less than $200 with shipping using the $20 coupon deal that was offered at the time I purchased the product. The shelves are sturdy enough to support the weight of several pieces of ceramic dishware, which I have placed inside. My husband assembled the product in less than 2 hours and had no complaints about the assembly process or the instructions provided. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product and would recommend the product to anyone looking for an affordable and attractive storage solution.
