Is there a certain way I'm supposed to put the L brackets? because when i screw one into the bench the other side doesn't match up

The L bracket has a long arm and a short arm. The long arm is screwed to the bottom of the bench. The short arm is screwed to the horizontal support.

If you're asking why the nuts won't screw in completely, it's because they're LOCKNUTS. You have to hold them in place firmly using an adjustable wrench while simultaneously screwing in the bolt on the other side using the Allen Wrench.

Mine came with only a diagram showing you how to put it together, not written instructions. If you look at the pictures clearly and look at the sides of the pictures you will see how to put the correct sides of the bench together.

I can't excatly remember but I think there was a template in the package. Either that or I think I might have used a pencil and copied a hole based on the inside line of the bracket. Hope this helps! Also used a steak knife to cut the hole. Worked like a charm.

Line the top part of the black bracket up to the silver bar on the basket so it just sits in place, you may need to move it on a slight angle for it to line up. Once lined up and just sitting there push it downwards causing the red locking section to grab onto it snapping it in place. After a few practices it works easily and well. Enjoy!:)

I had the same issue at first, but it was because they weren't seated on each other properly. Make sure the holes are aligned and the halves are seated well before putting the screws on. Hope this helps.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

They do line up but the alignment is super testy. Tighten the first screw (doesn't matter which one you start with) just a little bit to start. Then go around to each screw doing a little bit at a time until they're all tightened. (Like you're changing a car tire) If you tighten one too much it'll throw off the alignment of the other holes.

Yes, We switched the side. they are two separate Items and you attach them using just two L shaped brackets. Could have been little better way to attach but it works fine.

DO NOT bend the square brackets at the top!! I tried that on one of these (I had ordered 2) and a bracket piece snapped right off!!!

Same thing happened to me. I think they changed the manufacturing spec, but not the description. It assembled just fine with slats all the same, and I personally think it looks nicer, much more park bench-y. Dunno if their decision was based on aesthetics or because too many customers couldn't handle the wide/narrow thing and assembled them wrong. The very top slat of course is different, but that's easy to see.

Return it to amazon. Mine came with the brackets. It's obviously incomplete. Amazon is great with returns.

I don't have the instruction sheet anymore, but here's how I think I assembled the bench. It's a much simpler job if you have a helper to hold the components in place while you install the hardware. First, lay out the back, arms and seat on the ground in the way they'll look assembled. Be sure you have the right arm on the right and the left arm on the left. Lay out the hardware. Attach the arms to the back first installing the hardware according the pictures provided without completely tightening. Once the arms are loosely attached to the back, fit the seat into the slots provided and loosely install the hardware. When the bench is loosely "together", set it on the ground right side up and be sure that all pieces fit well and tighten all the hardware. Finally, install the small screws which secure the back to the seat.

I do not use the brackets, I just twisted it into place. I've been using it daily for months. When you pull up or hang on the bar from one side, it will slightly tighten the bar each time you use it. When you hang on the bar from the other side, it will slightly loosen each time you use it. So always use the side that will tighten it slightly. Otherwise, it could loosen over time with or without the brackets.

Which brackets are you referring to? There should be corner pieces where you can put the beams to create corners and the horizontal brackets that look like an h shape where you can put the beams for lengthwise connection. Also, the smaller brackets are there just in case you want to purchase more beams and stack them to make a deeper bed. Hope this helps! Happy gardening

I have one too, I believe it is a bracket. I don't use it so it stays in the box. You might want to contact the seller to get your answer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The instructions are horrible. There are two holes close and two hole further away on the ends of the stand. This is correct. If you attach the wrong side, the other will not align correctly. You probably have the right pieces, just attaching it in the wrong order. The narrow holes legs get attached INSIDE the stand part with the wider holes (the nuts both face inward). So in the end, the left upper and right lower side are narrow hole, the upper right side and lower left side are wide hole. Hope this helps.

If you look on each one it will have a R (right) or L (left). Just install them on the correct side.
