Bi-fold shower door. Good quality, but use the video, not the instructions.
The shower door arrived in a much smaller box than expected. On opening the box, I realised why - everything, and I mean every single thing had to be assembled. Once that was done and the door fitted in place, I am more than happy and satisfied with the quality and operation of the shower door. Let me explain....First thing. The written instructions have no useful purpose other than to itemise the quantity of each part that should be there, the barcode printed on them and as something to light a fire with. They are confusing, illogical and impossible to follow.Having checked the number of each item against the list - they were all there, I scanned the barcode with my tablet to access the YouTube video showing assembly instructions. Following this was straightforward and clear, if not always simple.Now to the actual assembly. The glass doors have to be assembled with connecting hinge and edging strip. Not difficult, but make sure you get the text on the labels on the doors reading the same way up. I didn't and had one side with labels upside down. Simple to change orientation of one door, but time consuming.The frame needs to be assembled. Again, watch the video closely a couple of times, then start and stop it as you go through the assembly process. Assembly is logical and methodical, but there is potential to get things wrong, so take care.Then the glass door needs to be fitted into the frame. Once more, it is simple but take care as it is possible to get the door to hinge the glass outside the shower enclosure. I know, I did it and the pair of glass doors are heavy to maul around and refit.At last, you can offer up the door in its frame into the shower enclosure opening. I did the fitting alone, but it will be MUCH easier if there are two of you. Fitting exposed the only disappointment I had with the frame, which seemed almost flimsy and certainly flexed a lot, making it difficult to position and mark out where screw hole needed to be drilled into the wall. When finally fitted, the frame is braced and plenty strong enough.Once screw holes were drilled and plugged it was time for final fit. BEWARE. At this point, you are locating the screw through a box frame. If you get it wrong and the screw doesn't go into the wall plug it can fall down the box section, to the base. Simple to retrieve as you just lift the frame a little and there is the screw.It doesn't matter if this happens on fitting the first screw. It is incredibly anger making if it happens on the last screw, where you have to undo all that have been fitted to retrieve the one that has fallen. I know this from experience, twice.My recommendation is not to use the plastic locator tube supplied, but to wrap electrical tape around screw located on your screwdriver. This holds everything together until the screw is firmly into the wall plug, after which just pull back and the tape will be left on the screwdriver and the screw is safely where it should be.At last, the door is fitted and sealed. The door slides easily and smoothly and when fully closed clicks firmly shut. There is a door stop fitted so that when you open the door, the handle doesn't break the glass.So, three hours of head scratching, cursing and hard labour and I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of the shower door.A good quality shower door for a bargain price.

Low cost, easy to install shower door
The door is a bit fiddly to assemble and the instructions could be better. Requires a bit of thought to work out how to assemble it for left or right hand opening. Door door uses small clips to keep it shut and the range of adjustment for these could be better - one of mine catches does not make contact with the frame. Spare catches are provide which is useful but also suggests they are prone to breaking. The frame allows a good range of adjustment for different sizes of opening. Installing the frame is a little fiddly and requires the use of a plastic tube (supplied) to pass the fixing screws through the side rails of the door, through the frame and into the mounting holes. Overall, it's not the best bit of engineering design but it functions, it looks good and is great value for money.

Great once it was assembled
Looks lovely now and we are really pleased with it but took my husband two days to put together. He is builder/ carpenter . Instructions are only pictures although there is a video too. Great if you have a small bathroom though. One thing to point out is that the width is 800 at its widest if you buy the 800 x 1850 as it’s a bit confusing to understand.

It's a nightmare!
I installed several bathroom and shower enclosures. I believe I am experienced enough in DIY.I bought this item to replace my old shower door.1) Screw holes are very tight metal. You need to use power to put screws. But the heads of the screws are not strong enough. I used my old shower door screws.2) The head of the screws is not standard size and shape. I tested a set of Bosch heads one by one. None of them holds enough. Also, there is no magnet on the screws, and reaching deep unsuited holes is extremely difficult.3) Frame joint screw holes don't match; required to push very hard to assemble.4) Instruction manual has no instructions. You have no chance to follow instructions.5) Screws were in separate small pouches, but no labels were on them.6) There is no original installation video available. I found a video about the same design with a different brand. Without this video, I cannot finish the job.7) Additionally, many small parts can be attached before packaging—no need to design it as a puzzle.

Looks good, but that's where it ends
I purchased two of these units for a new rental I was renovating back in 2022. The units were installed by professional plumbers who found the instructions next to useless. Took them a good few hours to work out how the thing went together, but got there in the end. It has always been a little troublesome in that the door was difficult to close, Thankfully I have good tenants who understood the situation and learned to work around this issue. 2 years down the line the middle catch that holds the door closed has broken (it's only made of plastic) and I am being told that the part is no longer made and they have no spares! So after just 2 years, I'm faced with replacing the complete enclosure because of the broken catch. Not impress to be honest

Great value quality 760mm bi-fold shower door
As with most bi-fold shower screens available, it does require to be fully assembled. It isn't a problem to do so, it is just time consuming. Beware,that the absolute minimum width this screen can be installed is 720mm. Because of wall run out, the top of my shower recess width was 717mm. In order to fit, I had to carefully trim the top bar. I would not recommend doing so as the door is already a snug fit. The vertical sections are a bit tricky to secure to the wall as the screw has to be located through a fairly small aperture. In the end, I found that using some sticky tape to secure the screw to the tip of the screw driver allowed for sufficient movement to locate the rawplug. The tape could then be pulled clear.I am very pleased with the shower screen in terms of value for money and for quality. I would definitely recommend this to others.
