Sixty inches of tabletop is what makes this the pick: wide enough to serve from, park a coffee setup on one end, and still leave space for a lamp. The muted green with the walnut-toned top is the part we keep coming back to. Framed glass, stepped molding, bronze pulls and square wooden legs add up to something that reads like an antique-store find rather than a cabinet that arrived in two flat boxes.
Behind the four glass doors there are two side cabinets and a wide center one, an open cubby worked into the run, and five shelf positions to set. That last number is the useful one: drop a shelf for a bottle of wine, raise the next for a stack of plates, and the display changes with the table setting instead of the other way around. The 150-pound rating covers a dinner service, a coffee machine and a lamp with room to spare.
Assembly is better than the price suggests. Panels and hardware are lettered and numbered, the instructions are written in full sentences, and one person can handle most of it. The finished cabinet is 133.4 pounds, though, so the standing-up and sliding-into-place steps want a second set of hands, and the floor should be clear before you start.
Against the arched and fluted cabinets here, its plain rectangular framed glass is the quieter choice, and that's deliberate — it doesn't compete with the china behind it. The same design also comes in black if a green cabinet feels like a commitment you'd rather not make.
