The buffet is large, however the bleached oak gives it an overall light look and the hand-carving soften its rectangular lines. The buffet features a single inset drawer decorated with molding. On each side of the drawer we can find a single-door cabinet with a drawer and a shelf, providing plenty of storage space. The paneling on the front of the doors and under the drawer are all hand-carved and provide depth. On the front corner the buffet is adorned with beautiful hand-carved floral patterns, which is repeated on the block legs as well, giving it a nice balance.
