Descent cabinet but poor assembly instructions

We are over all happy with the purchase but the assembly instructions are a joke. I am mechanically inclined and have a wood working and metal shop. The instructions are pictographs with little to no written instructions. There is nowhere in the instructions that they identify what panels are left or right. I looked the panels over and they appeared to be identical only to find out once you get it together that they are not. I had to diss assemble and swap the side panels to attach the door correctly. Trying to get the cabinet square so the door has the same gap all the way around is impossible so our door sags down leaving a gap along the top of the door that goes from 1/16” on the henge side to 3/8” on the latch side. I plan on installing a black piece of trim on the inside of the door to help hide this. I adjusted on the door henges and shelving for over a hour trying to close the gap. All the adjusting did was to widen gaps around the other 3 sides of the door or making the door rub. I took my time and did not rush the assemble of the cabinet. Another issue is that one of the shelves has a sticker warning that the cabinet can be tipped over on a child that tries to climb the shelves and that you should install the anti tip kit. I’m fine with the warning but they used a sticker that was not meant to be removed and was placed on the bottom shelve facing up. I worked on removing the sticker (it was about 3”x4” and was in full view of anyone looking in the cabinet. I worked on removing the sticker for 30 minutes with normal house hold cleaners and a razor blade. I finally ordered goo-gone and then that came in it still took me 10 mins to get the rest of the sticker off and the goo cleaned up. I understand the warning but using a permanent sticker in plain view of anyone looking at the cabinet is beyond product safety. Put it on the back where someone installing the cabinet would see it and now about the risk.
I knew that I was buying a painted cabinet made mostly from MDF panels and very little actual lumber but other buyers need to know that. Don’t be fooled that you are buying a hardwood cabinet. Theat would cost 3 or 4 times as much as this one. With all this said the cabinet looks nice and does what we wanted it to do and is what we expected. To the assembly manual writer. Please identify all pieces in the package and which is left or right or henges or latch side. To buyers: you need to have some mechanical skills to assemble as there are many pieces to this puzzle and minimal assembly instructions.
I would recommend this to a friend
