How to Assemble a Desk with Integrated Shelves and Hutch
Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing
Instruction: Carefully unpack all the components. You should have the main desktop panel (approximately 107 cm wide by 50 cm deep), two vertical metal frames, shelf panels, the upper hutch pieces (including two compartments around 27.5 cm and 43 cm wide), and a hardware kit with screws and bolts. Lay them out on a clean surface and confirm each part against the instruction manual.

Step 2: Building the Metal Frame
Instruction: Identify the two main vertical supports and the horizontal bars that connect them. Align the pre-drilled holes, then secure the bars using the provided bolts. This frame should be about 140 cm wide and 74 cm high where the desktop will sit, leaving enough room above for the hutch.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop
Instruction: Position the desktop panel at 74 cm from the floor, resting on the frame’s horizontal supports. Insert the screws through the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the panel and into the metal frame. Tighten them evenly, ensuring the desktop lies flat and stable.

Step 4: Installing the Lower Shelf & Hutch
Instruction: Secure the lower shelf (about 15 cm deep) beneath the desktop, aligning it with the side supports. Then, assemble the hutch by connecting its vertical uprights and horizontal panels (the top compartments measure around 27.5 cm and 43 cm wide). Mount the hutch on top of the frame, approximately 65 cm above the desktop, and fasten it with screws.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization
Instruction: Double-check each screw and bolt to confirm they’re tight. Gently shake the desk to ensure it’s stable. Wipe down the wood surfaces with a soft cloth to remove any dust. Finally, personalize your new workspace—add books, decorative items, or a lamp on the upper shelves, and enjoy your organized, efficient setup.

The integrated shelves and hutch offer plenty of room for storage and décor, making this desk a practical and attractive addition to your home office or study area. Enjoy your new setup!
