instructions could have footnotes. I have been trying to put this unit for two days it has not been easy. I will check but it would be nice to know what the item is made from. I will keep the piece because it will be in a guest room, but if I had known it was particlel board and not wood I would have ordered something different. 

Last but not least I have a call into the manufactor  for help.  Overall it will do the job for what I intended it to be.
