Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully unbox all components, which should include four large desktop panels, side and middle panels for the storage compartments, drawer fronts, metal or wooden support frames, and the central dividers (often made of frosted acrylic or a similar material). Lay them out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your parts list.

Step 2: Building the Desk Base & Storage Units

Instruction: Begin by assembling the base structure for each of the four workstations. Identify the side panels (which house the cabinets and drawers) and the central support boards. Align the pre-drilled holes, then secure them using the bolts or screws provided. Make sure to leave enough space in the middle for the divider panels.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop Panels

Instruction: Once the bases are secure, position each of the large desktop panels on top. Match the underside holes with the base brackets, then insert and tighten the screws. Ensure the desktops meet flush in the center where the dividers will be placed.

Step 4: Installing the Central Dividers

Instruction: Next, slide the frosted dividers (or similar privacy screens) into the slots between the desktops. Secure them at the correct height using the brackets provided. The cross formation of the dividers creates four separate work areas while maintaining an open, collaborative environment.

Step 5: Final Checks & Organization

Instruction: Inspect each connection to confirm the workstation is stable. Attach any remaining drawer fronts or handles, and slide the drawers into place. Gently wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, add office supplies, computers, or decorative items to personalize each station.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a sturdy, stylish workstation that allows up to four people to work comfortably together. The central dividers help each user focus while still fostering collaboration, and the built-in storage keeps office essentials close at hand. Enjoy your newly organized and professional workspace!
