The instructions were so rudimentary that you don't find out that you assembled it incorrectly until you're almost finished. I had to deconstruct it 5 times, then finally had to scrap the crummy instructions that came with it and assemble it in my own way. Writing instructions with decent pictures is not rocket science and the manufacturer really got lazy and dropped the ball. That being said, the quality is about what I'd expect for the price. If I had to do it all over again, likely would have spent more money for a better quality product.
