People being disappointed in lack of instructions must be beyond sheltered.If you're one of these people,just Google it.Or look at the pictures provided here and everything should make sense to you.As for quality,mine were flawless.Perfect edges,colors,sturdiness,etc.Will buy more to build collection for our lil'family.I'm still hung up on people asking for instructions and directions.Can't focus on review because of it.Its all so self-explanitory,I don't get what they aren't getting!Recommend buying but you might be one of the unlucky as far as quality goes I guess.All I can say is we're plenty satisfied. Thanks!
