I have bought and put this together, minus inserting the screws. There are no pre-drilled holes and they are super long... any tips on how to do this?

I pre-drilled holes inside near the corners of the posts. This will put the screws into the boards and secure them. I hope this helps.

It was a pain. I called the company and they told me the screws would go into the plastic easily but they didn't. We ended up using a drill to start the holes and bought longer screws. Despite the difficulty assembling it, it looks nice and I put it onto of another raised bed that rabbits were able to get into and it has kept the rabbits out of my vegetables!

We didnt use the screws. Ours has been up for over a year with no issues from not using the screws.

the intern that put it together had a bit of a problem but then she did changed the way she was inserting the screws, so try changing how you inserted the screws. i almost returned it also.

I think I had the same issue, I got mine assembled by turning the handles inward, not flaring outward, also leave all screws loose when assembling, until all are started. I hope this helps.

Just drill new holes or expand the existing ones. I had a similar problem. It takes about two minutes with a drill and proper bit. Save yourself the money. Good luck. This was a good quality product if you decide to buy it. Mine is mounted in a way I cannot measure, sorry.

You have to screw the nails that came with the set. There are no drilled holes.

No idea about the pre-existing holes, though there is a little bit of wiggle-room I think. I believe I had the near edge of the inside plate flush mounted to the near edge of the bottom if the opening.Do NOT use the supplied screws; the heads shear right off. Get some of your own screws.

Just need a drill to make holes in the wall for the anchor mounts (I suppose you could twist / push a large phillips head screwdriver through a sheet rock wall if you were careful, but make sure it's not larger than the anchors), and a screwdriver to screw the screws in. Might want to put a level up too so it's not mounted crooked when you're done.FYI mine did not align with studs, so I used those special expanding sheet rock wall anchors

Mine did not come pre-assembled. Took me 2-hours to assemble as the holes were not pre-drilled

As others said, the screws provided go through pre-drilled holes in the black shelf links into the 2x4's. I have a vague recollection of attaching the horizontal boards first, then flipping them to attach to the verticals. Don't know if anyone else tried that but it worked for us.

I had to get a long 2X4, had to replace the top polls. I cut a few pieces in different lengths and then I drilled holes and put screws with bolts. Be sure to get the right size screws so that it doesn't punch threw to long. Some places I was able to just use long nails. I hope I was able to help. I pretty much had to put new polls in for extra support. Although I did have to elimanite one shelf. I wish there was a way that I can send you a picture of mine. If you were to replace the polls you can get rope and wrap it around the 2X4.

We ended up drilling new holes. Lame. But I think after doing it we found that if we'd arranged the pieces differently we wouldn't have had to. The pieces aren't labeled well, but if you play around with it a bit you can find how it fits! On the plus side, we've had this dresser for three years now and it's still standing tall. Good luck!

We did have the screws, but no instructions. If this wasn't a gift from Santa, I would've returned it. We've had to use Wood Glue on all the pre drilled holes because when we put it together some of the screw holes ended up being too big for the screws that were sent with this. We've even had the same problem with the vanity stool! UGH!

The holes are pre-drilled for the knobs. It is a really nice looking piece of furniture even with the knobs. A bit tricky to assemble, but if you take your time it goes together nicely as long as you don't get in a hurry. I love mine! Its well built.

The board doesn't have any pre-drilled holes in it. There are instructions on where exactly to put the holes.

Were there supposed to be pre-drilled holes to screw the plastic piece to the side? Are the big holes on the sides for the dowels?

The screws are for the back rest. Lift the material up a bit. The holes are at the bottom.
