- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface (e.g., a carpeted floor) to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the list in Section 3.
- Attach Leg Frames to Desktop: Place the desktop panel (A) upside down on your protected surface. Align the pre-drilled holes on the left leg frame (B) with the corresponding holes on the desktop. Insert screws (E) and partially tighten them with the Allen wrench (F). Repeat for the right leg frame (C).
- Secure Support Bars: The triangular support bars (D) are pre-attached to the leg frames. Ensure they are properly extended and aligned with their connection points on the desktop. Fully tighten all screws (E) connecting the leg frames and support bars to the desktop. Do not overtighten.
- Adjust Feet: Carefully flip the assembled desk upright. The adjustable feet (G) are pre-attached to the bottom of the leg frames. Turn each foot clockwise or counter-clockwise to level the desk on uneven surfaces.

5. Operating and Usage
- Placement: Position the desk in your desired location, ensuring it is on a stable and level surface.
- Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the legs to fine-tune the desk's stability and prevent wobbling. Turn them clockwise to raise a corner or counter-clockwise to lower it.
- Surface Protection: Although the desktop is scratch-proof and water-resistant, using coasters for drinks and mouse pads for computer peripherals is recommended to prolong its lifespan.
- Weight Capacity: The desk is designed to support standard office equipment such as laptops, monitors, and books. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the surface.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the desk surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the desk to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect the material integrity.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk is wobbly | Uneven floor; loose screws | Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the legs. Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. |
| Parts do not fit during assembly | Incorrect orientation of parts; manufacturing defect | Review the assembly instructions and diagrams carefully to ensure parts are oriented correctly. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Surface scratches easily | Excessive force or sharp objects; misinterpretation of 'scratch-proof' | While the surface is scratch-resistant, it is not impervious to all damage. Avoid dragging sharp objects across the surface. Use protective mats for heavy use areas. |
