The cabinet seems well made. There are no written directions but the diagrams were good if you can read that sort of thing. When assembled, it has a bit of play so that you can wrack it to make the doors line up well, or not. Unfortunately, after attaching the top back to the wall it could not hold a perfectly square shape, so there is an inconsistent gap at the top of the doors. Possibly a solid 1/4 inch back would help but I am not sure. It took me 6 hours to assemble.
