4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have a clear, spacious area for assembly. While assembly can be done by one person, having an additional person may be helpful.

4.1 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the provided parts list in your manual.
2. Attach Legs to Desktop Panels: For each desktop panel, align the steel frame legs with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the panel. Secure them using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the wood.
3. Connect Desktop Sections: Once the legs are attached to both L-shaped desktop sections, carefully position them to form the corner. Use the connecting plates and screws to join the two sections securely.
4. Install Crossbars: Attach the crossbars between the leg frames for added stability. These typically connect to designated holes on the inner sides of the leg structures.
5. Attach Adjustable Foot Pads: Screw the adjustable foot pads into the bottom of each leg. These can be adjusted later to level the desk on uneven surfaces.
6. Place Monitor Stand: The monitor stand is removable and does not require permanent attachment. Simply place it on the desired section of the desk (left, center, or right) to suit your setup.

4.2 Assembly Tips & Visual Aid

Refer to the video below for a visual demonstration of a common assembly challenge. Pay close attention to how parts are aligned and secured.

Important Note: During assembly, ensure all screws align correctly with the pre-drilled holes. Forcing screws or overtightening can damage the desk material. If a screw does not fit, re-check the alignment of the parts and the screw type. The video above shows an instance where a screw did not align properly, highlighting the importance of careful alignment.

5.3 Adjusting Foot Pads

To ensure the desk is stable and level, adjust the foot pads located at the bottom of each leg. Turn them clockwise to raise the leg or counter-clockwise to lower it until the desk is firm and does not wobble.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the carbon fiber texture and finish.
• Spills: In case of spills, wipe them immediately to prevent liquid absorption and potential damage to the engineered wood.
• Tighten Screws: Periodically check and tighten all assembly screws to maintain the desk's stability.
• Avoid Excessive Weight: Do not place excessively heavy items on the desk, especially on the edges, to prevent warping or structural damage.
