Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your desk. It is recommended to assemble the desk on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Check against the package contents list.
- Attach Leveling Feet: Screw the four adjustable leveling feet into the bottom of the steel frame legs. Do not overtighten.
- Assemble Steel Frame: Connect the two steel frame legs using the provided crossbars/support beams. Secure them with the designated screws and the Allen key. Ensure all connections are firm but do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach Desktop: Place the desktop panel upside down on a soft surface. Carefully align the assembled steel frame with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the desktop. Secure the desktop to the frame using the provided screws.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are loosely assembled, gently flip the desk upright. On a level surface, tighten all screws securely. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the wood or stripping screw threads.
- Adjust Leveling Feet: Adjust the leveling feet by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desk is stable and does not wobble.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your desk.
- Cleaning: Wipe the desktop and steel frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.

- Protect Surface: Use coasters for drinks and placemats for hot items to prevent water rings or heat damage.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
