We moved into our apartment about the time my grandmother passed away. She had wanted me to have her china, since I was the oldest granddaughter. I also inherited the hutch that went with it, but it was big and awkward in our place. When I saw this buffet, I was hoping it would hold all of the set and more. It did, with room to spare! It was considerably smaller than the old hutch, and was great for the farmhouse look I had been going for! It said it takes two people to assemble, but I did it alone. It was easy, came with all the needed hardware, and the pieces all fit together perfectly. If you have storage needs and have a small space, this will work great!
