I just love, love my end tables if my husband ever gets them together.  He has one together and is working on the other one.  I believe the instruction book could be simplified with words such as A is one side B  is the other.  C is the top and D is the bottom.  Lots of instructions just confuse the issue.  Or by A on the piece you could write (Right Side) and do that on all of the parts and then you wouldn't even need an instruction book.  Keeping things very simple makes it so much easier for the novice.  I do love the look of the tables and hope one day to see them both (one at each end of my sofa.)
