If you are familiar with close-up photography then you'll be familiar with extension tubes and you'll know how simple they are. No instructions are needed. However, I found three problems with these tubes:
1 - I couldn't get them to lock onto the camera. Not wishing to force it and risk damaging the camara, I unscrewed the tube ends (with the male and female bayonet fittings) and coupled them together. They went with a bit of effort, after which they locked easily to the camera, so problem solved.
2 - the button used to unlock them again isn't intuitive. As others have found, pressing it down doesn't unlock the tubes and they can't be removed from the camera. The way the button works is that you push it horizontally (along the lens axis), not down (radially). Try it before you attach them - it's easy, and obvious when you know how!
3 - there is no coupling to the lens iris lever, so your lens will be stopped-down fully when you use the tubes. This is not necessarily what you want when light is low, as it tends to be for close-ups. The solution to this is a strategically placed blob of blu-tac to hold the lever in the fully open (or other) position.
So, my problems were easily solved. At this price you'd have to be a nut not to buy.

I had been thinking of making my own extension rings after doing some tests with a lens hand-held in front of my camera... Then I saw these tubes... £5.99! It wasn't worth me even trying to make my own!
The tubes are actually made of metal, which came as a bit of a shock. I had expected plastic for this price. No instructions, but it's not exactly rocket science.
Please note, no connections or controls are linked through from the camera. This means you must use the camera on manual, manually focus and manually set the aperture on the lens.
If you have a G lens you are going to be stuck at the smallest aperture and not be able to change it as a G lens has no aperture ring. You could still use it, but you will need a well lit scene to see what you are doing, and a tripod for the longer exposure.
If you have an older lens (I have a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D) the tubes work brilliantly.
I'm a little amazed by those saying that they got the lens stuck etc, there is one "control" on the tubes, the lens release. It's a knurled knob. Honestly, how long does it take to try push, pull, push left, right, up, down? (You push it down towards the camera body). If it's tight, give the lens a little wiggle. I have experienced no problems.
Cons: Not really much not to like. It would be nice of the lens mounting alignment dots were on the side, not on the mounting plate faces, then you would be able to see them as you line thing up, but I think I can live with that... If not, I'm quite capable of putting my own little paint dot on the side!

These extension rings are very well made and sturdy, all metal construction. Used with a D90 and a 50 1.8D lens there were no problems. You do need to unlock the aperture ring on the lens (which is locked at 22 for automatic use) and use the camera in manual - but I knew that.
To the reviewer who said he got good photographs but shallow DOF - welcome to macro photography, use a tripod and stop your lens down if you want more DOF.
BUYERS TAKE NOTE.
Having read those reviews which reported difficulty fitting and removing this product, I can see how this might happen. The screw threads do bind very tightly, and even separating the rings (off camera) can be difficult. So before using on camera I put a miniscule amount of 3:1 oil on each of the screw threads and twisted each together and apart several times. This was enough to prevent the binding that seems to have occurred for some.
The unlock knob mechanism is obvious if you look at it before putting it on your camera.
Took off a star for these points - but they're fine really - used with care. Excellent value.

Incredibly sturdy, easy to assemble, easy to operate. Of course they don't work well with G lenses, thats not what they're for! Anyone with a 50mm 1. Read more

Extension tube a cheap option
The extension tube arrived quickly and was easy to use. I had a little trouble uncoupling it from the camera, but it was me pressing the release button, when I should have slid it.
