Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires two people. Follow the numbered steps provided in your physical instruction manual. The assembly process primarily uses cam bolts, cam locks, and dowels. Ensure all connections are secure before proceeding to the next step.

Step-by-Step Assembly Overview

1. Prepare Components: Lay out all pieces on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Identify parts B, D (side panels), and C (middle piece). Insert cam bolts and dowels into their designated holes as per the manual.

2. Connect Side Panels: Attach the side panels (B and D) to the middle piece (C) using the cam locks. Ensure the cam bolts align correctly with the cam lock receivers and turn the cam locks to secure the connection.
3. Attach Crossbars: Secure the crossbars (J, I, K, L, O) between the main structural components. These pieces provide stability and support for the desk frame.
4. Install Top Panel: Carefully place the desktop panel onto the assembled frame. Align the pre-drilled holes and secure it with the provided screws.

Operating Instructions

Using the Charging Station

1. Plug the charging station's main power cord into a standard wall outlet.
2. Press the red on/off switch to activate the power outlets and USB ports.
3. Connect your devices (cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) to the available 4 outlets or 2 USB ports.
4. To power off all connected devices, press the red on/off switch again. Always unplug the charging station when not in use.

Using Drawers and Cabinet

• The drawers operate on smooth slides. Pull the handle to open and push to close. Avoid forcing drawers if they encounter resistance.
• The side cabinet features an adjustable shelf. To change the shelf height, remove the shelf pins, reposition the shelf to one of the three available levels, and reinsert the pins to secure it.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the desk surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent water damage or staining, especially on the wooden top. Use coasters for drinks.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration of the wood finish.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Drawers do not slide smoothly or get stuck.

Solution:

• Check that the drawer slides are installed correctly and are not bent or damaged.
• Ensure all screws securing the slides to the desk and the drawer box are fully tightened. Loose screws can cause misalignment.
• Verify that the drawer box itself is assembled squarely. Disassemble and reassemble if necessary, ensuring all corners are flush.

Problem: Desk feels wobbly or unstable.

Solution:

• Confirm that all cam bolts and cam locks are fully engaged and tightened.
• Ensure all dowels are properly seated in their holes.
• Check that the desk is placed on a level surface. Use furniture levelers if needed.
• Consider securing the desk to a wall using anti-tip hardware (not included) for added stability, especially if it is freestanding.

Problem: Exposed cam bolts or unfinished appearance on the front.

Solution: This design choice is intentional for some farmhouse-style furniture. If desired, contact Vabches customer support for matching cover stickers to conceal the cam bolts.
