4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires a Phillips screwdriver and a tape measure. A bubble level is recommended for wall mounting.

1. Prepare Components: Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the provided parts list. Pay close attention to the finished edges of the boards to ensure they face the correct direction during assembly.
2. Assemble the Main Frame: Follow the step-by-step diagrams in your included assembly guide to connect the side panels, back panel, and internal shelves. Ensure all cam locks and screws are securely fastened.
3. Install the Drawer: Assemble the drawer components according to the instructions. Insert the drawer into its designated slot. Install the drawer stops as the final step for the drawer. This may require partially inserting the drawer and reaching inside to screw in the stops.
4. Attach the Foldable Tabletop: Secure the hinges to the foldable tabletop and the main desk frame. It is recommended to screw in the hinges before attaching the support arms. Test the folding mechanism to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment. Adjust hinge screws if necessary to ensure the tabletop folds cleanly into the frame.
5. Install Wall Mounting Cleats: Locate a suitable wall stud for secure mounting. If mounting into drywall, use appropriate drywall anchors (not always included, verify your package contents). Attach the two wall mounting cleats to the wall, ensuring they are level and spaced correctly according to the manual.
6. Mount the Desk: Carefully lift the assembled desk and align the pseudo hooks on the back of the desk with the wall mounting cleats. Gently lower the desk onto the cleats. Once mounted, adjust the tension screws on the inside of the desk (if present) to secure it firmly to the cleats and eliminate any wobble.
