I hate instructions, so luckily this is easy to setup without them. It comes with all the tools needed to install it. My dogs are very hyper and so it has been tested by them jumping up on it and it hasn't budged. It looks nice in my house. It is easy to open and automatically closes. The only thing I wish is that it had a way to keep it open if I wanted it to. Currently I just have a small boot that I will use to prop it open when needed.
