For those not familiar with screw dimensions, pay attention to the 
information on the right side of page 12 in the assembly manual. Flat 
Head screws are measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the 
threads while Pan Head  (and round head and others) are measured from 
the bottom of the head to the end of the threads.
