A unique, curved desk can serve as both a functional workspace and a striking statement piece in your home or office. The model shown here features a flowing “S” shape on one side, creating a built-in drawer stack and a smooth, rounded tabletop. Below is a step-by-step guide—complete with consistent image descriptions—to help you assemble this elegant piece of furniture.

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. You should have the main curved desk panel (forming the top and side), a flat side panel (if separate), three drawer fronts (plus their sides and bottoms), and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, possibly wooden dowels). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Building the Main Frame

Instruction: Identify the curved desk panel that forms the tabletop and one side. If there’s a separate vertical panel for the other side, align it with the pre-drilled holes or brackets. Use the provided screws or bolts to secure this panel, leaving them slightly loose so you can adjust alignment if needed.

Step 3: Attaching the Drawer Support & Curved Sections

Instruction: Next, position any internal supports or shelves that form the “S” shape on the desk’s side. Align the pre-drilled holes in the curved panel with these supports, fastening them with bolts or screws. Ensure each level is properly spaced to accommodate the drawers.

Step 4: Assembling & Installing the Drawers

Instruction: Construct each drawer by connecting the side panels, bottom board, and front panel (which may have pre-installed handles). Slide the assembled drawers onto the rails or guides within the curved compartment. Test them by gently pulling them in and out to ensure smooth movement.

Step 5: Final Checks & Placement

Instruction: Gently shake the entire desk to confirm stability. Tighten any remaining bolts or screws, then wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, place your new desk in its designated spot—use the integrated drawers to store stationery or documents, and enjoy the generous curved surface for work or study.
