Translation of the directions:

We score the dotted lines for folding. The lines marked by an X will be scored in back. The corresponding numbers will be glued together. The X symbol near a number indicated that the backing of this area will be glued to the corresponding number. A. The four outer sides of the cabinet. B. The base and it’s interior walls. C. Four interior walls, the parts G-N will overlap the sides. We will then glue the four sides of the cover to the top that will be attached to the four sides by the ornaments of the overlapping sides. We will glue the interior base inside the cover. We will double the ornaments to glue onto the cover, that-is-to-say the backings of the same drawings will be glued together then we will stick them crosswise on top as is indicated by the numbers.
