Setup and Assembly

The IKEA BEKANT desk requires assembly. It is recommended that two people assemble the desk to ensure safety and ease of construction. Ensure you have sufficient space and all components before starting.

Before You Begin:

• Unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the packaging.
• Clear a large, flat area for assembly.
• Gather necessary tools (typically a screwdriver and possibly an Allen key, often included).

Assembly Steps:

1. Attach Legs to Tabletop: Carefully place the tabletop upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Attach the desk legs to the designated mounting points on the underside of the tabletop using the provided screws and hardware. Ensure all connections are secure.
2. Connect Sit/Stand Mechanism: Follow the specific instructions for connecting the sit/stand motor and control unit. This typically involves attaching the motor to the leg frame and connecting the control panel.
3. Install Cable Management Net: The BEKANT desk includes an integrated cable management net. Attach this net to the underside of the desk to organize power cords and cables, keeping your workspace tidy.
4. Position the Desk: With the help of another person, carefully flip the desk upright and move it to its desired location. Ensure it is placed on a level surface.
5. Initial Height Calibration: After assembly, perform an initial calibration of the sit/stand mechanism as per the specific instructions in your packaged manual. This usually involves lowering the desk to its lowest point and holding the down button for a few seconds.
