Setup and Assembly

Recommended Number of People for Assembly: 2

Estimated Assembly Time: 1-2 hours

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface. Match each part to the corresponding number or letter in the parts list (usually found in a separate diagram).
2. Attach Cam Locks and Dowels: Insert cam locks and wooden dowels into the pre-drilled holes on the designated panels as per the assembly diagrams. Ensure they are fully seated.
3. Assemble Side Storage Units: Begin by assembling the two vertical storage units that form the desk's legs. Connect the side panels with the shelves using the cam locks and dowels. Ensure the open cube compartments are correctly oriented.
4. Attach Top Panel: With assistance, carefully place the main tabletop panel onto the assembled side storage units. Align the pre-drilled holes and secure it using the remaining hardware (e.g., screws, cam locks).
5. Final Tightening: Once all parts are connected, gently tighten all screws and cam locks. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the wood.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting

Desk is wobbly after assembly:

Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Check that the desk is placed on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, use furniture pads or shims under the legs to stabilize it.

Parts are damaged or missing:

Do not proceed with assembly if parts are damaged. Contact the manufacturer's customer support for replacement parts. Refer to the package contents section to verify all items.

Difficulty aligning parts during assembly:

Double-check the assembly diagrams and ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. Sometimes, rotating a panel 180 degrees can resolve alignment issues. Ensure dowels and cam locks are fully inserted.
