There are no written instructions, only mid-quality pictures. Also, the instructions were difficult to follow because steps were left out. For example, because the instructions never told me to use the washers, I had to figure out for myself that the washers had to be placed on the door handles in order to get the door handles to fit snugly. My instructions also never showed me that the 2-inch silver plate needed to be attached to the bottom of the door in order for the door to stay closed. And I was missing one of the silver plates. As for the finished product? Well, it looks nice, but it's slightly flimsy. But it's NOT the worst manufactured wood product I have every purchased. Oh yeah, it took me almost 3 hours to put it together.
