5. Attach Work Surface: Carefully place and secure the main work surface to the assembled base. Ensure all cam locks and screws are tightened appropriately.
6. Final Adjustments: Once fully assembled, gently move the desk to its desired location. Check for stability and levelness. If necessary, adjust any leveling feet or re-tighten fasteners.
