Once you got everything how you like start with the Mid and a side, I started with the left. Get the Mid and the Left and the Bottom of L and the wood glue and screw them together (pic 2). I used corner clamps to make this easier (I forgot to put these in the original pic, sorry) The two screws you see here will be covered up by Bottom of R. Pic 2 shows the Front of 2 where it is suppost to go, if you want these steps enclosed. It was at this point I decided not to cut holes in the side of this project for shoes and leave the Front of 1 and 2 off, but then I figured I needed the support, so I but them at the back of the steps (pic 2 and 3).



The next piece I put together was the Front of 2 and 4. Then I put on the Bottom of R and the Right side. Then the Front of 1 and 4 (yes if you do it my way (leaving a place to put shoes under Steps 1 and 2) the Fronts overlap). see pic 2 and 3. I would use glue and screws where ever possible and then nail it together with a nail gun just for more support. I left the Tops last and the back for very last.
