Modern ioHOMES Knox Buffet Server Sideboard with 2 Doors and Bottom Cabinet

Curtis W Mc Gee: there is an imperfection on the top, a hole had been drilled too far creating a ridge on the top. The black scratches very easy. The top is not securely attached to rest of the pieces, care must be taken not to lift from the top panel. The handles should have been chrome like the legs. The brushed aluminum handles don't look like they belong to this piece.

Strategerizer: Looks and functions great, particularly for the price. I was trepidatious since some reviewers complained about poor instructions. It did take me about 3 hours to put together but I cleared the workspace and took my time to understand and follow the instructions to the letter. Everything went super-smooth. All pieces are well labeled and fit together like a glove. Instructions are clear and correct.

INSTALL TIP 1 - DOWEL GLUE
I was concerned that the glue they provided for the dowels would not be enough... I had some extra so I figured not to worry and put just enough where it spills out just a tiniest amount after I put the dowel in, as confirmation that there is enough. And it was enough. Still, I recommend the manufacturer to provide a little more so not to stress out there will not be sufficient.

INSTALL TIP 2 - DOOR HINGES
Some other reviewer mentioned that one of the hinges was leaving a big gap in the door. This most likely happens if one half of the hinge (the one that gets screwed in the cabinet wall (not the door) is set rotated 180 degrees. This can happen if the two metal pieces of the hinge get separated and you put them back together in reverse...

D KingD King: Lovely piece of furniture! A bit tricky to assemble because of the back, slip in pieces that are shipped folded ... once I taped them on both sides, making them stable, everything slid together easily. I painted this buffet brown to match my other furniture and added handles that matched and it looks great!

Amazon Customer: It takes a lot of assembling but I am happy with the results. Although I checked the measurements and everything, i thought it was bigger with a bit more space inside.

Sherry: Difficult to assemble, instructions are difficult to follow and interpret, did not have all the correct screws so we had to improvise. Altogether though, as long as you have two people to problem solve together and hold various parts, as well as make sure you organize all the pieces and count them prior to assembling you should be okay. It took my husband and I 4 hours to assemble completely. Is a beautiful piece of furniture once it is together. I would not recommend this product unless you have experience with furniture assembly though or someone somewhat knowledgeable or good at patiently problem solving to help you.

Amazon Customer: This was literally HELL to put together. The instructions are terrible and I had one missing screw and one hole not drilled where it should have been. Anyone who is not handy or has not put together alot of hex key type furniture in the past is in for a treat! The unit looks ok once together but I did swap out the hardware as the one that comes with it looks cheap.

R V: The media could not be loaded.  Once my wife told me she bought furniture thru Amazon, I started to panic since she is very sophisticated and picky on our house decoration. Almost everything in our house is from Crate and Barrel and I already saw myself returning a heavy stuff back to Amazon.
Then the package arrived and I saw the many pieces, which seem a 1000 small pieces jigsaw puzzle and read the other reviews in Amazon about the problems of assembling it and really start to complain to her. "Why you bought such thing??? We should return it immediately!!! It will take days to mount such a thing!!!!" I am a terrible, terrible assembler and have ZERO patience.

To make the things worse, the very beginning of the installation manual came with a small error. That was enough for me to say to her: I give up. Then she took the job and started doing by herself. After like 10 minutes, I couldn't let her do by herself and started to help.
And with patience and going deeper on that, we could mount it within 2 hours and a half. If you are not a professional, it is a 2 person job for sure, since one need to hold and the other one screw one hundred times. Although the...

brettbaughman: I am going to make this short. I have a very large home and office. I have purchased a lot of furniture; both very expensive and also moderately priced but well made.

This cabinet looks very good in my office. It's a nice piece of furniture. I believe that once assembled, anyone will be happy with it especially for the price.

The biggest issue with this product is the assembly and instructions. They are terrible. They are those bad drawings of a thousand screws that all look alike and you are supposed to know which is which...also, the instructions were incorrect. I counted 3 times that the guide told me to use the wrong piece but since I have experience with this sort of thing, I didn't get foiled.

My advise, if you like the cabinet, get it BUT before you try to put it together, go through everything and count the pieces and mock putting it together following the guide. It will make sure you don't get to the last couple parts and realize you are missing items or used the wrong nails earlier.

** You may also have to use a screw driver or something similar to bore out the holes for nails, dowel rods etc. Not too hard but you will most likely face this..
