How to Assemble a Two-Person Workstation with Shared Divider

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully unpack all the components. You should have two long desktop panels (forming a single surface when joined), drawer units (with front panels, sides, and hardware), metal frame pieces (legs and crossbars), and a central divider. Arrange them on a clean floor, comparing each item to the parts list in your manual.

Step 2: Building the Metal Frame

Instruction: Identify the side legs and horizontal crossbars. Align the pre-drilled holes on each leg with the corresponding crossbar, then secure them with the provided bolts. Keep the bolts slightly loose so you can adjust the frame as needed. Once both sets of legs and crossbars are in place, tighten the bolts evenly for stability.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop Panels & Central Divider

Instruction: Place the long wooden desktop panels on top of the metal frame. Match the underside holes with the brackets on each frame, then insert the screws and tighten them. Next, position the central divider along the middle of the desk surface, aligning any pre-drilled holes or brackets. Secure the divider with screws, ensuring it stands upright and level.

Step 4: Installing the Drawer Units

Instruction: Assemble each drawer unit by connecting the side panels, bottoms, and front panels. Attach the handles if they aren’t pre-installed. Slide the drawers onto their rails, checking for a smooth glide. Finally, align the drawer units under each side of the desk and secure them with screws or bolts if the design calls for it.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the entire workstation to ensure it’s stable. Tighten any loose screws or bolts. Wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, personalize each user’s space—arrange office supplies in the drawers, place a computer or laptop on top, and enjoy the added privacy provided by the central divider.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a functional, stylish workstation that accommodates two people comfortably. The central divider offers just enough privacy while the shared frame and complementary drawer units keep the layout unified. Enjoy your new office setup and the productivity it brings!
