How to Assemble a Four-Person Workstation with Cross Dividers

A multi-person workstation with cross dividers is an excellent solution for maximizing office space while providing each user with privacy and a dedicated workspace. The design pictured here features four individual desks arranged in an “X” formation, each with its own partition and storage unit. Follow these step-by-step instructions, complete with consistent image descriptions, to create a modern, collaborative work environment.

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Begin by carefully unpacking all components. You should have four individual desktop panels (each with a curved work surface), a set of partition panels (the green dividers), four storage pedestals (with three drawers each), and the necessary hardware (screws, brackets, and connector pieces). Lay everything out on a clean floor, verifying each item against your parts list.

Step 2: Building the Partition Frame

Instruction: Identify the central frame pieces that will form the “X” shape of the partition. Align the dividers so that they meet in the middle, creating four distinct work areas. Use the supplied brackets and screws to connect each panel securely. Double-check that the partitions are perpendicular to one another for proper alignment.

Step 3: Installing the Desktop Surfaces

Instruction: Once the partitions are stable, attach each curved desktop panel to the corresponding side. Align the pre-drilled holes on the underside of each desktop with the brackets on the divider frame. Secure the panels using the provided screws. Ensure each desktop meets snugly against the dividers for a seamless look.

Step 4: Adding the Storage Pedestals

Instruction: Next, position a three-drawer pedestal under each desk. Depending on the design, the pedestals may include casters or simply rest on the floor. Align the pedestals so that the drawers open toward the user’s seating area. If necessary, secure them to the underside of the desk or partition for added stability.

Step 5: Final Touches & Setup

Instruction: Check all bolts and screws to confirm everything is tight. Gently shake the desk units to ensure stability. Wipe down each surface with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, arrange office essentials on each desk, such as lamps, stationery, and computer equipment, to complete the workspace.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a sleek, functional workstation that accommodates four people in a compact area. The cross dividers offer each user a sense of personal space while maintaining a cohesive, collaborative atmosphere. Enjoy your new office setup and the productivity it brings!
