The cabinet was easy to put together.  The instructions only showed pictures and no words.  The only time there was an issue was when I was putting the hardware on the doors.  The diagrams were a little hard to see what way the hinges go.  Also the diagram seemed to show the metal magnet a the top of the door, seemed to be placed wrong on the picture.  Other than that the cabinet came together.  I had a much better experience with this piece than the previous wine cabinet I purchased.
