Operating Instructions

The Monarch Specialties Computer Desk is designed for general office and home use. Its features include:

• Drawer Functionality: The desk includes two side drawers with smooth metal glides and black metal pulls, and one wide middle drawer with metal glides and a black leather pull. These drawers are suitable for storing office supplies, documents, and personal items.
• Weight Capacity: Distribute weight evenly across the desk surface. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the desk or in the drawers to prevent damage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface and metal legs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining, especially on the wood-look laminate surface.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Drawer Care: If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the metal glides.

Troubleshooting

• Wobbly Desk: Ensure all leg connections and the crossbar are securely tightened. Check that the desk is on a level surface.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that the drawer glides are correctly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure the drawers are assembled correctly. Lubricate glides if needed.
• Scratches or Dents: Minor scratches on the laminate surface may be touched up with a furniture repair marker matching the finish. Deep dents may require professional repair or replacement of the affected component.
