Assemble inside out. If there are inner front to back walls start with attaching the floor boards to them. Then add the vertical inner left to right walls. After sliding in the slopes attach the outer wall to fix everything in place.

If there are no inner front to back walls just add everything to one side wall and then add the other one after that. Possibly saving the front and back as last step.
