You will need to screw the piece together when using MDF. 5 Piece of 3/4" Hardwood Plywood 4 - 1x2s 3 - 1x3s 3 - 2x4s Cut out all your pieces as directed in the cut list. Make sure your plywood or MDF pieces are perfectly square. When fastening, you can use 2" nails or 2" screws, unless otherwise directed. Remeber, you need to make 3 benches.

Do this for all 3 benches.Fasten the top of the bench, C (shown in purple above) by nailing or screwing through the top of C into the ends of A and B (shown in blue and green above). Do this for all three benches.Fasten the cubby divider, E, as shown above in green. Use the above measurements to guide you. Make sure you nail through the top, bottom and back into the edges of E. Also check for square (see HOW-TO section). Trim Out of the Bench Front. Begin by nailing F in place (shown in green above). Keep all outside edges flush. Then nail G (shown in purple above) in place as shwown above, keeping outside edges flush.
Finally, nail H (shown in blue) in place. Center the middle trim H on the vertical divider. For the outside trim H, keep outside edges flush. Use the measurements above to guide you. Trimming out the sides of the foot bench. Arrange the 3 benches as shown above. For the foot bench, you will need to trim out both ends as shown above. Do this for only 1 of the benches. Start by fastening I in place (shown in green). Then fasten J in place (shown in pink). Then fasten K in place (shown in purple). Finally, fasten L in place (shown in blue). Keep outside edges flush. Whenever you are nailing into just the plywood sides, make sure you use nails or screws less than 1 1/2" long. Still use the longer nails or screws when fastening into the end edges of boards.Start with boards M, shown above in blue. Mark out the placement of all the joist first (shown in green above). Then add the joists, N, shown in green above.Predrill and secure the spacer in place, using 2" screws. Follow the measurements and instructions above.
(You may wish to assemble the bed in the room)You may wish to sand and paint or stain the bed first, then move into your room, and then fully assemble. I recommend doing a test assembly first. Add the plywood to the top of the spacer, as shown above. Then use 1 1/4" screws to screw from the insides of the cubbies into the adjoining benches, securing all the benches together. There is no way around a certain amount of scraps. You can use them to build drawers.
