I had it almost all together when my dear hubby decided to "help" ,  that's when directions would have been very helpful.  but after another hour we were back to my way and had it together in no time.  It is very nice not as roomy as I had wanted the round poles take up shelf space.  It is ok for in a closet to hold coloring books etc. for grandkids.  nothing heavy would safe.

Pros: Lots of height between the shelves.  Nice and bright.
Cons: Poles take too much room/shelves can't adjust.
