Safety Information
Important Safety Precautions:

Setup and Assembly
The Sauder Harvey Park Wall Desk comes pre-assembled and primarily requires secure wall mounting. Follow these steps carefully for installation.
Required Tools and Components:
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Level
- Stud finder (recommended)
- Included mounting hardware and assembly instructions
Assembly Steps:
- Identify Mounting Location: Choose a wall location that can support the weight of the desk and its contents. Use a stud finder to locate two wall studs for secure mounting. The mounting board has pre-drilled holes to accommodate various stud spacings.
- Determine Mounting Height: Consider your preferred working height. The desk's overall height is 26.69 inches. The drop-down work surface will be approximately 11.75 inches from the bottom of the unit when open.
- Install Mounting Board: Secure the provided mounting board to the wall studs using appropriate screws. Ensure the board is perfectly level before tightening.
- Mount the Desk: Carefully lift the assembled wall desk and align its rear cleat with the installed mounting board. Lower the desk onto the board, ensuring it is securely seated and stable. It is recommended that one person performs the assembly.
- Final Check: Gently test the desk's stability on the wall. Open and close the doors to ensure smooth operation.
