Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all components from their packaging. You should have the main wooden panels (forming the desk’s top and sides), the black privacy panel, a rolling pedestal with three drawers, and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, and possibly brackets). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against the instruction manual.

Step 2: Building the Desk Base

Instruction: Identify the two main side panels and any supporting crossbars. Align the pre-drilled holes according to the assembly guide, then secure them using the provided bolts. Keep the bolts slightly loose so you can make minor adjustments later. These side panels will serve as the structural foundation for the desktop.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop

Instruction: Once the base is stable, place the large wooden desktop panel on top. Match the underside holes of the desktop with the brackets or dowels on the side panels. Insert the screws or bolts, tightening them evenly. Ensure the vertical grooves line up smoothly along the edges, maintaining the desk’s clean look.

Step 4: Installing the Privacy Panel & Rolling Pedestal

Instruction: Next, attach the black privacy panel at the back or center of the desk according to the manual’s guidelines. Use the provided brackets to secure it, making sure it stands upright and stable. Slide the three-drawer rolling pedestal beneath the desk on the desired side. If the pedestal has locking wheels, engage them to keep it in place.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the desk to confirm stability. Tighten any loose screws or bolts. Wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, personalize your new workspace—organize office supplies in the pedestal drawers, add a desk lamp, and enjoy the privacy provided by the sleek black panel.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a sturdy, stylish desk that offers both privacy and ample storage. The combination of a warm wood finish, black privacy panel, and rolling pedestal helps keep your workspace organized while enhancing its overall aesthetic. Enjoy your new desk and the productivity it brings!
