No drill bit, just need the proper length screw. Short screws are used when the center wicker isn't installed and long screws are used when the center wicker is installed. The side wickers already have the short screws installed so all you have to do is use a Torx screwdriver to take them out and install the longer screws that should come with the center wicker.
