So you just slide the spindles that's what I call them up into the holes and this takes practice like anything. Then you push it all together. Be careful and lift up the railing because it will all come apart real easy if you are not careful. You have sleeves, rail sleeves that go on the top and the bottom and then it screws into the post sleeve and there are stainless steel screws that are used to put this together, get on there. Just be very careful all the time. Now it's very essential that you have your drill and your screws handy so you don't have to go and find them. Once you get a couple of screws in you are on your way. You have to make sure the height of the railings match up or it will look really crappy. See, that is not the right height. That's essentially it, just put your screws in and watch out for your gloves if you have any because they can really get wrapped up in here.
