Assembling the New Dresser and Mirror

So earlier this week we purchased a very nice and solid bedroom set from an officer who is moving soon. Has both a head and foot board that we still need to look at and attach. I did get a chance to put my stagecraft skills to use once again. The mirror was cut down from the original scary, super mirror from the early 80's which means the supports were not the same. Hubby has been busy and couldn't remember how the former owner said to assemble it. When he went into work I started playing with it and thinking through what we were given.

I figured out that we had to independent types of support. Before we kept trying to link it all together which didn't line up. So with my little had screwdriver and a lot of care, I screwed everything back in place. 

At this point I attached the second plank and assessed my work. We are missing 2 screws, and the two on the top of the planks aren't biting into the wood of the mirror anymore. It is sturdy enough for now. While its cool this week I will be heading to Lowe's to pick up a handful of new screws to reinforce my work. Not bad for someone who can't use power tools.
