• Always assemble the desk on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
• Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened before use. Periodically check and re-tighten as needed.

3. Parts List

Please verify that all components are present before beginning assembly. If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact customer support.

Note: The main desktop unit with drawers is largely pre-assembled for ease of setup.

4. Setup & Assembly

Assembly of the Tangkula Bamboo Mid Century Desk is straightforward. All necessary tools are included.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Place them on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
2. Attach Legs: Identify the four desk legs (Part B). Align each leg with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the desktop unit (Part A). Secure each leg using the provided screws from the Hardware Pack (Part D) and the Allen wrench. Ensure they are firmly tightened.
3. Install Crossbars: Attach the two crossbars (Part C) between the desk legs as indicated in the assembly diagram (refer to the included paper manual for detailed diagrams). These crossbars provide additional stability. Secure them with the appropriate screws from the Hardware Pack (Part D).
4. Apply Foot Pads: Gently turn the desk upright. Apply the protective anti-slip foot pads from the Hardware Pack (Part D) to the bottom of each leg. These pads protect your floor from scratches.
5. Final Check: Ensure all connections are secure and the desk is stable before placing any items on it.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Tangkula Bamboo Mid Century Desk is designed for versatile use in various settings.

• Desktop Usage: The wide desktop provides ample space for a laptop, monitor, books, and other work essentials. The elevated edges help prevent items from rolling off.
• Storage Drawers: Utilize the two pull-out drawers for organizing documents, stationery, and other small items. These drawers offer convenient, concealed storage.
• Under-Desk Shelf: The integrated under-desk shelf is perfect for storing books, decorative items, or small electronic devices, keeping them within easy reach but off the main desktop.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your bamboo desk.

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Spills: The painted bamboo surface is waterproof and stain-proof. In case of spills, wipe them immediately to prevent any potential damage or discoloration.
• Sunlight Exposure: While bamboo is durable, prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause slight color changes over time.
• Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent the bamboo from drying out or absorbing too much moisture, which could lead to warping.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
