Had to go back online to look at actual photos to be able to tell which direction to attach the flat plates.  The top plate was not level so had to add some washers to one side to level it as best I could.  The flat cut on the top of the legs are not "flat level" so when you attach the plate, it isn't level.  Plus had to look to see which direction the leg needed to angle.  Took about an hour to complete including adjustment washers. Wood and stain are good quality.  Thinking of buying another.
