Important Safety Information
Always assemble and anchor the desk to the wall or floor to prevent tipping. This desk is heavy (93 pounds) and has an L-shape, which can make it top-heavy and unstable if not properly secured. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage. Keep all packaging materials away from children. Ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly. Do not use power tools for assembly unless specifically instructed, as overtightening can damage components.

Please verify that all the following components are present before starting assembly. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Global Industrial customer support.
- 1" Thick Scratch Resistant Laminate Work Surface (Cherry Finish)
- Steel Frame Components

Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this product. A screwdriver is the recommended tool for assembly. Follow the detailed steps provided in the separate Assembly Guide included with your purchase. The general steps are outlined below:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify Parts: Refer to the Assembly Guide to identify each component and hardware piece.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the steel frame components according to the instructions, ensuring all bolts are finger-tight initially.
- Attach Desktop: Secure the laminate work surface to the assembled steel frame. Tighten all bolts securely once the desktop is in place.
- Install Leveling Glides: Screw the adjustable leveling glides into the bottom of the desk legs. Adjust them to ensure the desk is stable and level on your floor.
- Insert Cable Grommet: Place the cable management grommet into the designated opening on the desktop.
- Anchor Desk: For safety, always anchor the desk to a wall or floor using appropriate hardware (not included) to prevent tipping. This is especially important for L-shaped desks.

Operating Instructions
This desk is designed for general office and home office use. Place your computer, monitor, and other office equipment on the desk surface. Utilize the cable management grommet to route and organize power cords and data cables, maintaining a tidy workspace. The desk is designed to support typical office equipment weight; avoid placing excessively heavy items on the surface to prevent damage.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your desk, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the laminate work surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Clean the steel frame with a damp cloth.
- Inspections: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain desk stability.
- Leveling Glides: Adjust the leveling glides as needed to compensate for uneven floors and prevent wobbling.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your desk, consider the following:
- Desk Wobbles: Ensure all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Adjust the leveling glides on each leg until the desk is stable.
- Parts Don't Fit: Double-check the Assembly Guide to ensure you are using the correct parts for each step and that they are oriented correctly. Do not force parts together.
- Damaged Surface: For minor scratches on the laminate, touch-up kits may be available from the manufacturer. For significant damage, contact customer support.
