I actually designed this stand to use it in the bathroom while sitting ( i have a closet lid in front of me ) but then i thougt maybe someone would use it as a drawer stand so i decided to upload it to connect the middle piece you need 2 screws , any screw that 1.5 - 2 cm long 2-3 mm thick would work . stand has a 2 mm hole for the screw and its 2 cm deep
