You can attach your Slat Legs with just a few simple tools( Circular Saw, Rubber mallet, Hand Drill/Driver).  Here are a few basic steps to help you get started.

Step 1: Turn your project surface or slats and the Slat Legs upside down. Be sure to select straight, not bowed horizontally or vertically dimensional lumber, and place next to each other on flat surface to see if they lay flat and nestle nicely to one another.  Place slats legs next to each other in best format slide lumber/slats/top into the 1.5" slot, starting with edge pieces first (may need a cutting, sanding and rubber mallet to knock these into place as slot edge can get tight) . Mark the wood through each mounting hole with a pencil.  Pre-drill pilot holes no more than half of the wood thickness.

Step 2 : Attach your legs using #10 1.25" Truss head wood screws at for optimal fastening.  

Step 3 : Screw in Leveling feet or Rolling Casters

Step 4 : Confirm the Slat Legs are securely attached, then turn your project right side up. 

Step 5 : Enjoy!

For dimensional lumber builds use the following:

Coffee table /Desk Table : (3) 2" x 8" cut to desired length. (4'-5' foot ideal)

Bench Seat : (2) 2" x 8" cut to desired length (4' foot ideal, use extra leg for longer benches) may need to rip 1" of wood off one slat for better fit.

Dining Table : (4) 2" x 10" cut to desired length  (Up to 6' foot ideal, if going longer use metal brackets underneath for support or third leg)

**Select straight lumber not bowed if possible. Sanding/cutting may be necessary to fit into slot
