Assemble the basket stand.  Start with the top frame and the sides – secure them in place with 3-inch screws. Next, connect them to the bottom. Make sure they are aligned.

Step 3:

Add wood glue to the feet and place it on the bottom on both sides. Use a ruler to make sure they are aligned properly, then use a nail gun to attach them. Next, add the top frame.
