The screws,washers and nuts came out of the red plastic bag it normally comes in. They were everywhere. The box was open as well so I thought I would be missing pieces. Fortunately I wasn’t and they were all there. It was easy to put together one person whose a female. But the diagram does not explain step one to well and I had to figure it out on my own. You receive 12 long screws with 24 washers  of the big and small kind you are to insert a total of 4 on the long screws two in the front and two in the back with the nut. If I make any sense. Anyway by the time I was done my hands were red and inflamed and hurt and dry from screwing the slats to the frame. Overall it’s what I needed.
