Setup and Assembly

This desk requires assembly. Please follow all instructions carefully to ensure proper construction and stability. It is recommended to assemble the desk with at least two people due to the size and weight of the components, especially the glass panels.

Safety Warnings:

• Always handle glass components with extreme care to prevent breakage and injury.
• Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened during assembly. Periodically check and retighten fasteners as needed.
• Assemble the desk on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching the glass or other components.
• Keep small parts away from children during assembly.

Assembly Tips:

• Lay out all parts and hardware before beginning assembly to verify all components are present.
• Refer to the included pictorial instructions for step-by-step guidance. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece.
• The L-shape configuration can be assembled in either direction (left or right-hand orientation) by adjusting the placement of the middle support and leg sections.
• When attaching glass panels, ensure they are properly aligned before tightening to prevent stress on the glass.

Operating Instructions

The Altra Cruz L-Shaped Desk is designed for general home office use. Its large surface area accommodates laptops, monitors, lamps, and various office supplies. The integrated open shelves provide convenient storage for books, binders, and other items.

Usage Guidelines:

• Distribute weight evenly across the desk surface. Avoid concentrating heavy items on a single point or near the edges of the glass.
• Utilize the two open shelves for organizing office essentials, keeping your workspace tidy.
• Ensure the desk is placed on a level surface to maintain stability.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your desk.

Cleaning:

• For general cleaning, dust and wipe the desk surfaces with a dry, soft cloth.
• If needed, a damp cloth may be used sparingly. Avoid excessive moisture.
• For glass surfaces, use a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass.

General Care:

• Avoid placing hot items directly on the glass or wood surfaces. Use coasters or protective pads.
• Protect surfaces from sharp objects that could cause scratches.
• Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain desk stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your desk, consider the following common solutions:

• Desk feels shaky: Ensure all assembly screws and bolts are fully tightened. Check that the desk is on a level surface; adjust if necessary.
• Glass panel appears misaligned: Loosen the fasteners holding the glass panels, carefully adjust the position, and then retighten evenly. Avoid overtightening.
• Difficulty during assembly: Review the assembly instructions carefully, paying close attention to the orientation of each part. Sometimes a piece may appear similar but has a specific front/back or left/right orientation.
• Glass breakage: While rare, glass can break if subjected to impact, extreme temperature changes, or uneven stress. Always handle glass with care and avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the edges. If breakage occurs, carefully clear the area and contact customer support for replacement parts.
