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.
