General Assembly Tips:
- Unpack and Organize: Carefully unpack all components and hardware. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Group similar parts together.

- Follow Sequence: Adhere strictly to the assembly sequence outlined in the manual. Do not skip steps or tighten screws fully until instructed, as this may hinder alignment.

- Secure Connections: Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened once the desk is fully assembled and aligned.
- Leveling: Once assembled, place the desk in its intended location. Adjust the floor glides at the bottom of the legs to ensure the desk is stable and level on uneven floors.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Techni Mobili desk, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
- Heat Protection: Use coasters or protective pads under hot items to prevent heat damage to the desktop surface.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your desk:

| Keyboard shelf or drawer sticks/doesn't slide smoothly. | Misaligned rails; debris in tracks; overtightened screws. | Check that the slide rails are properly aligned and securely attached.

| Parts do not fit together during assembly. | Incorrect orientation; wrong part used; manufacturing defect. | Double-check the assembly manual for correct part orientation and identification. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
