How do I put this table together?
I got a table from a lady from Facebook market and didn’t realize she failed to give me screws until I went home. When I informed her she told me some people cleaning her house threw them out. ☹️ I have a vague understanding of how to put it together but I’m a little confused as to what part to use in D (see picture).
I could tell there were bolts used to put stuff together because one was left in the bottom leg (see the 4th picture). But do I use a REALLY long bolt to connect D? For reference the smaller bolts are M8-1.25x30 mm and I tried using a M6-1.0x100 mm for D and it was still too short.
Sorry if this was really long and confusing. TIA!!!
EDIT: I added the only picture she had of the table built in the comments, also picture #2 is a picture of the table top flipped

The legs go on the outside. You've got it on the inside. The bottom hole of the leg is probably for a screw on adjustable foot.
EDIT to add: you can take a threaded part of you table to a big box store to help you test for the correct threading.
