Key Features and Components








The desk features a pull-out keyboard shelf concealed behind a mock center drawer front. Upper and lower cabinet storage areas are provided for organization. Cable pass-through holes are integrated into the design for managing electronic device cords.
Operating Instructions
- Opening and Closing Doors: Gently pull the brushed metal handles to open the cabinet doors. Ensure no items obstruct the doors when closing.
- Using the Keyboard Tray: The keyboard tray slides out for use and retracts for a compact appearance. Pull the mock drawer front to extend the tray.
- Adjusting Shelves: The desk includes adjustable shelves within the cabinet sections. To adjust, remove the shelf, reposition the shelf pins to the desired height, and place the shelf back on the pins.
- Cable Management: Utilize the cable pass-through holes on the back panel to route power cords and data cables for a tidy setup.
Maintenance
The Inval AM-16423 desk is constructed from high-quality manufactured wood with a durable melamine laminate finish. This finish is designed to be stain, heat, and scratch-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining, although the melamine finish offers good resistance.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting
- Uneven Doors: If doors do not align perfectly, adjust the hinges. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments in height, depth, and side-to-side positioning using a screwdriver. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions for specific adjustment points.
- Assembly Difficulties: If you encounter issues during assembly, carefully re-examine the diagrams and ensure all parts are oriented correctly. Some components may appear similar but have subtle differences.
- Keyboard Tray Magnets Not Engaging: Ensure the magnets and their corresponding metal plates are correctly installed and aligned on both the keyboard tray and the desk frame. Adjust their position if necessary to ensure proper contact.
- No Cable Hole on Fixed Shelf: The design includes cable pass-through holes on the back panel. If a direct hole through a fixed shelf is desired for specific cable routing, it may require modification by the user, which could void the warranty. Consider routing cables around the shelf or through the existing back panel holes.
