I have to add that Sauder has THE best assembly instructions I have EVER came across.

The instructions were great and very helpful with assembling the piece

But not all the pieces are labeled and because the instructions were not clear enough, I had to take the desktop apart because the moulding was not attached correctly

The instructions were easy to follow and it went together quickly

For the most part the steps were very clear, out of hundreds of screws I only have to redo about a dozen due to misreading the instructions

This is definitely cheap materials, cheap instructions and a lot of work because they have you screwing in things that are like a 1/8th inch from the side of another part.

The instructions were 100 % accurate and answered every question that one would anticipate for the next step.

good instructions

And the instructions even include some humor along the way

The instructions were easy to follow and easy to put together for me, being a female

All the hardware was included and the instructions were fairly easy to follow.

Great assembly instructions, with one tiny exception (the decorative side columns have seams rather than exact holes, so placement was a little iffy, but it ultimately turned out great)

Vague instructions.

For the cost you can get a better unit at wal-mart with better hardware and instructions and better fit

I thought the instructions were clear until we got to the doors but figured it out

Their instructions are clear

The instructions were very confusing

The instructions were easy to follow, but we did have a hard time getting the shelves to fit in until we figured out that it would be a LOT easier if we removed the little pegs they are supposed to sit on & put those

The instructions are clear and easy to follow

however, the instructions were very good, and i'm extremely pleased with the end result

Like every other Sauder kit I've put together (dozens), the pieces were cut and machined perfectly, and the instructions thorough and accurate

The instructions were hilarious and the dresser was great!

Intimidating looking instructions at first but while putting this together (by myself!

The instructions are good to a point then they just are {why didnt you tell me that two pages back} The package of hardware needs to be seperated so you can find the screws you need next

The packaging was excellent, all the parts were in the box, and the instructions were very helpful

It's not that the instructions were not good, because the instructions were great.

The instructions are easy to follow, but it takes several hours to assemble, and preferably a helper.

Considering what they are (press-board furniture with decorative veneer), they are amazingly sturdy and attractive, inexpensive, and come with well-written instructions

It took a while to put it together, but instructions were very clear and fulfilled with fun tasks like "Next step: Make some nachos"

As previous reviewers have said the nightstand takes time to put together but the instructions are easy to understand and its not complicated.

Comes with well written sensible instructions and it shows the actual size of screws on each page

Clear instructions, but few of the pre-drilled holes matched, so not as easy to put together as it should've been.

The instructions were easy to follow and the suggestions in the reviews from others who purchased the same armoire also helped us save some assembly time.

That being said, the instructions are pretty straightforward if you can follow diagrams and the holes are expertly lined up

The instructions were easy to follow from start to beautiful finish

Be warned and pay VERY close attention to the vague instructions or you will suffer the same fate that I did

But the instructions were perfect.

The most infuriating part of this build are the vague instructions.

It took us just about four hours and although the instructions are pretty clear about NOT using power tools to assemble this item, I couldn't guess how long it would take to put this together, using only hand tools.

In some points the instructions are not accurate and you have to use your ability to make it

Assembly instructions are decent but had to pause few times and fit pieces by trail and error since instructions were not clear- Fit and finish is just average, From a distance unit looks very good but under closer inspection edges are not finished and can see particle board underneath.

Instruction books well thought out.

Sauder's instructions are always accurate and easy to follow, and this was no exception

Simple instructions only need screwdriver to assemble takes about 5 hours but well worth it.

The instructions were very clear, all the parts there, and not a scratch on any of it

Primarily reviewer concerns appeared to be centered around poor packaging causing damage in shipping, terrible assembly instructions, and poor quality once assembled

But, the instructions are very clear

but it's not good instructions

Also - the instructions recommend not to use a drill or power screwdriver to assemble - I followed those instructions for the first half, but found I could move much quicker using my drill to fasten the screws

The instructions were easy to follow and came with picture diagrams to assist.

The instructions were good with pictures and notes included.

Putting it together took a couple hours but other than that the instructions were easy to follow and it looks great!

You will have to put it together and when you open the box it almost seems overwhelming, but the instructions are pretty good and 1 person can do it

The instructions are great, with the screws being used for each step shown on the page actual size, so you can simply hold a screw up to the diagram and tell if it's the correct screw

currently putting this item together but instructions are very clear/easy to understand

It takes a bit of time to put together (About 3 hours and I am good at assembling), but the instructions are easy to follow.unfortunately the top has a crack in it

Very easy to assemble, following the instructions and all parts and pieces sorted out before I started.

I read several reviews about the assembly time and it was not as bad as I though it would be.

I loved it because it had a drawer I could slide his sh*t into when I cleared away the trash and dusted

Worth of money thnk u
