I got the white one. There were no written instructions...just drawings. At first, I was confused why a metal part was not going in the hole, but then figured out it was where the wooden dowel goes. Overall, it went together fairly quickly and easily. They included one extra of some parts in case one got lost. I was very pleased with the appearance except for the color of the screws for the handle. The handle is a burnished bronze color but the screws for it were nickel color.
