Like others, I am disappointed in this product in that it does feel cheap albeit it is indeed solid wood. Instructions were fine. I purchased the espresso color and it’s not what I imagined at all—some manufacturers’ espresso is more of a black color—this manufacturer’s espresso looks more like a dark cherry. My furniture doesn’t match now. :( I’m keeping it because returning will be a hassle. I’ll have to find some accent pieces to tie the furniture and room together.
