I like to put together furniture without looking at the instructions. Its kind of my thing. This was more challenging than most, not in a bad way per se, but there is a detail related to how the metal pieces overlap thats kind of important. especially if you are a really particular (obsessive compulsive) person like I am. I wont explain it well and the company didnt even try in the video (no copy of instructions included). They completely skip it which frustrates me. It still works if you just do it all haphardly, but there is a reason lots of negative reviews mention having to really force it. If done uniformly, theres no need to force anything.
The best I can do to explain is that at higher joint, looking at the leg from the inside (see pic for perspective), the pieces overlap so that the bar coming from the left is on the bottom. Its the opposite on the lower joint. On the bottom row of joints, the bar coming from the left is on top of the bar to the right. If you arent deliberate about this, you would need to force it and bent bars make things less stable.
Hope that helps.
Also the screw length only worked in the one middle location without the washer. because its thicker there there the bars overlap. That really should have been accounted for in the design. youll be content
