Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly. Keep all hardware and packaging materials out of reach of children.

Due to the size and weight of the desk, it is recommended that two or more people assist with assembly and moving the assembled unit.

• Ensure all parts are present and undamaged before starting.
• Use only the provided hardware.
• Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage the material.
• Place the desk on a level surface to prevent wobbling.
• Keep small parts away from children to avoid choking hazards.

Parts List and Preparation

Before beginning assembly, unpack all components and verify them against the included parts list in your instruction booklet. Lay out all pieces on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Organize hardware by type to streamline the assembly process.
