Directions were simple to follow as long as you go step by step. DON'T open both drawers at the same time, cabinet will tip! No wall straps included to secure. 
Drawers do not close perfectly equal. Functionally, it isn't an issue, but the cabinet sits at the top of my stairs and I see it at eye level. 
I gave 4 stars as it looks way better than a standard filing cabinet and perfectly meets our filing needs.
