Here is where I had some fun…Although I was very careful in drilling the holes for the screws I still has two screws break. I used tape to mark the depth of the drill bit I used; ensured I was using a drill bit with proper diameter knowing that maple is a hardwood. I even set the screws by hand instead of using a cordless screwdriver - and still 3/4's of the way in two screws broke at the neck.
