Great shoe cabinets for 9 pair of shoes in total. Gives you a cleaner and more organized look in entryway (Good for Feng Shui). Did not have problem with the directions - to me, they were very clear - just follow the visual graphics and use the list of supplies. You will need a set of flat head and screwdriver to assemble. One thing to take into account before assembly - if you are very sensitive to smells and dust particles (please ensure to wipe off the cabinet boards before installing with a wet cloth), it will help to mitigate headaches and nausea.
