boards in place on the supports, with the butted ends of the
shelves meeting the center-line of the supports. Screw in place
with 1 1/2 inch (38 mm) screws.

You might need to use a hand screwdriver at this point if your
cordless driver is too big.
6. Fasten the two bracket pieces in place in the angle on the
underside of the top shelf, using 2 inch (50 mm) screws. Finally,
