Introduction

The Merax WF196080 Computer Desk is designed to offer a functional and organized workspace. It features a spacious desktop, integrated storage shelves, a dedicated CPU storage space, and a printer stand, making it suitable for various home office or study environments.
Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Merax WF196080 Computer Desk is required. All necessary hardware and tools are included in the package. It is recommended to assemble the desk in the room where it will be used to avoid moving a fully assembled unit.
Included Components:
- Desk components (engineered wood panels, alloy steel frame)
- Assembly hardware (screws, bolts, connectors)
- Assembly tools (e.g., Allen wrench)
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack and Verify: Carefully unpack all components and compare them against the parts list provided in your package. Ensure all pieces are present and undamaged.
- Prepare Workspace: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Place a soft cloth or cardboard on the floor to prevent scratching the desk components during assembly.
- Assemble Frame: Begin by connecting the alloy steel frame components according to the detailed diagrams in your included assembly guide. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten until all parts are aligned.
- Attach Panels: Secure the engineered wood panels to the frame. Pay attention to the orientation of each panel, especially the desktop and shelf components.
- Install Storage Unit: The integrated storage cabinet can be positioned on either the left or right side of the main desk. Follow the instructions to attach it securely. The cabinet is designed without a back panel for flexible placement.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all screws and bolts. Avoid excessive force to prevent stripping or damaging the materials.

Operating Guidelines
The Merax WF196080 Computer Desk is designed for various office and study tasks. Observe the following guidelines for optimal use:
- Weight Capacity: The desk is constructed to support a maximum weight of 300 pounds. Distribute weight evenly across the desktop and shelves. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on a single point.
- Storage Utilization: Utilize the 2-tier open shelves for books, files, or decorative items. The extra desktop space is suitable for a printer, while the open storage under the desktop can hold typing paper. The CPU stand protects your computer tower from moisture and dust.
- Workspace Organization: The large surface area accommodates monitors, laptops, and other office supplies, providing ample space for an organized workstation.
- Stability: Ensure the desk is placed on a level surface to maintain stability. Periodically check and tighten all assembly hardware to prevent wobbling.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your Merax Computer Desk.
- Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface and frame with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the engineered wood finish and alloy steel.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any liquid spills to prevent damage to the engineered wood.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the desk to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity, which can affect the material integrity.
