Better than expected
I'm so glad that I picked this product after looking at different furniture stores. I saw this one at crate and barrel store but still wasn't sure how it will look like in my small kitchen/dining area. I finally bought this relying on the previous reviews which I'm glad I did. I'm so happy with this purchase and getting so many compliments from guests. It is very sturday, classy and in very good quality. Highly recommended for small spaces that need extra storage.

Classic piece for every dining room
This is a great piece to store china, crystal or any other nice serving wear. Very sturdy and great deep brown coloring goes with almost any decor. This is a great mix of modern classic style and probably one of my favorite pieces I've ever owned. Doors have magnetic closure and can store large amounts of pieces.

Solid and beautiful
I love this piece. It's made from a beautiful wood and is so sturdy and solid. It makes a statement in my dining room. Top cabinets are perfect for storing wine and champagne glasses.

Kipling furniture
I purchased the entire set of Kipling furniture for my daughter and son in law. Table, hutch, chairs, buffet. They love it and so do I. The table has an extension so you can have large gatherings or small. The chairs have a nice rounded back that make it comfortable to sit. With some chairs you dont want to converse at the table because sitting gets uncomfortable, not the case with these chairs. The hutch and buffet are very deceiving. They appear on sight not to have alot of storage. Not the case at all! When we started loading the top hutch we were surprised how much it actually held. When loading the bottom the capacity was an even bigger surprise. We had to unpack more gifts my daughter had stored away. We were very pleased and surprised with the interior capacity of both peices. There was only one problem. If there was lighting in the upper hutch it would of been the final touch but we fixed that. We are going to add lighting ourselves to show off the beauty of the furniture! Thank you once again Crate and Barrel. Have made quite a few furniture purchases with you and never disappointed. When looking for a new piece of furniture you are my first stop and usually the only!

Great Storage Piece
We got this piece as a wedding gift and love it! Living in the city, storage is a challenge. This piece looks great, and stores all of my crystal and serving pieces beautifully. It was easy to put together, and came on time in good condition. I highly recommend this item.

Sturdy and Gorgeous!
We are really pleased with this purchase. The buffet/hutch is a beautiful statement piece in our home. Delivery was faster than we expected.
One of the little touches we really appreciated was the adjustable leveling feature on the buffet feet because of our uneven tiled floor.
We have a small kitchen and recently removed some cabinets trying to open things up a bit. The buffet/hutch gives us a lot of storage to make up for our lost cabinet space, but doesn't take up much room itself.
We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend the Kipling buffet and hutch!

Good Scale
Like other reviewers, I live in a city scale home. I've been looking for something to hold my dishes and stemware. Because my house is so narrow, it was hard to find a hutch/buffet that was a smaller scale, but still had ample storage space. This was it! It's a great size for a kitchen or a dining room and is very sturdy in it's construction. I only wish it was offered in different finishes as the mahogony is a little dark....especially for smaller spaces.

Beautiful and Functional
My husband and I live in a high rise apartment with little built-in storage space, so we bought this to hold all of our china and stemware. It's absolutely fantastic! These pieces are very sturdy and well made. I couldn't find a single flaw in the wood and all of the drawers and cabinets are set/hung perfectly. There's ample space in both pieces - I comfortably fit 60 glasses in the hutch top (a mix of everything from champagne flutes to water goblets to martini glasses), and everything from large platters to a flatware chest in the buffet. The only assembly required was lifting the hutch top onto the buffet (definitely a 2-man job), and if you want to secure the hutch to the buffet with the included hardware you'll need to drill holes for screws. Also, I saw this set in the store so I knew the color, but it appears different shades in the online pictures. It's not black but it's not real "reddish" either like one of the pics - it's just a nice, deep mahogany.

Great Storage!
I live in a small condo and was looking for something that could provide more storage space for dishes, serving pieces, placemats, etc. I was also looking for something that would last me a lifetime and wouldn't have to worry about falling apart. This was perfect! It actually was able to hold a lot more than I had anticipated and it looks great. The construction is very well put together and it is very sturdy. I absolutely love this product!
