Matte laminate is not best quality, easy to chip, but glossy doors are better. 
Instructions are pictures only, but not hard to follow. Make sure to assemble all unfinished edges facing the back. Yes, I goofed one piece and had to disassemble and redo.  Wouldn't recommend if this is going to be used often. I'm using as storage and a light in guest bedroom.  Overall, I like the look.
