You will have two on each side of the centerpiece. Screw in place. You will wrap the boards something to connect them. Attach grooves for the boxes on the cross section pieces. Screw the lower piece of MDF on the frame with an electric screwdriver. Attach the screws to each of the corners and between 1-2 meters apart from each other along the frame. Turn over the bed and screw the top piece MDF onto the frame. Sand and color boards.
