Sent without instructions.. called and it will be up to 72 hours to have them sent over by email so.. be sure to check for instructions before moving out your old item and unpacking it. Or to avoid this happening, place a call immediately after ordering something and request to have instructions emailed to you. That way you arent in my boat- old tv stand moved and disassembled, this item taken all the way out of packaging, no stand for my TV until I receive them by email.
Bummer. 
Looks cute though. More of a packingsupply issue.
The piece is particle board. Not particularly strong or steady. Real wood is always better, but realistically, not easy to find something cute and trendy like this in real wood for a reasonable price.
