The set of instructions were by far the easiest I’ve read in awhile with images that showed exactly what you were supposed to be doing and what to expect. The finished product is wonderful! It doesn’t take up too much room and the shelf provides plenty of space for whatever knick knacks you place in it. It has a wonderful bottom shelf that I use for my pleasure reading and holding books and it provides a nice ambiance with its light wood color finish that embraces a sense of relaxation.
