Setup and Installation
The FLEXISPOT SS007LB Under Desk Drawer is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps to securely attach it to your desk.
1. Check Compatibility and Placement
Ensure your desk is compatible. The drawer fits most FlexiSpot desks, excluding 24" width desktops. For other fixed desks, the desktop must be at least 9.4" deep. The drawer is designed to be installed off to the far left or right-hand side of your desk to avoid interference with desk frames or crossbeams.

2. Prepare for Mounting
The drawer ships fully assembled. Identify the four mounting holes on the side runners of the drawer.

3. Position and Mark
Hold the drawer in the desired position under your desk. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the pilot holes through the four mounting holes on the drawer's runners.
4. Drill Pilot Holes (if necessary)
If your desk does not have pre-drilled holes, use a drill to create small pilot holes at the marked locations. This will prevent wood splitting and ensure a secure attachment.

5. Secure the Drawer
Align the drawer with the pilot holes (or existing holes) and use the provided 6 screws to firmly attach the drawer to the underside of your desk. Ensure the drawer is level and securely fastened.

Maintenance
