How to Assemble a Wooden Corner Desk with Multiple Drawers

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from their packaging. You should have the main desktop panel (with an angled corner), two side panels or pedestals (one with drawers, the other with a CPU compartment), a center drawer assembly, and any required hardware (screws, bolts, handles). Spread these items on a clean floor or table, checking off each component against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Building the Pedestal Units

Instruction: Identify the pedestal that holds the drawers. Attach each drawer rail to the side panels, following the pre-drilled holes. Insert the drawer boxes if they’re pre-assembled; if not, assemble the drawer sides and bottoms, then slide them onto the rails. Repeat this process for any additional drawers.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop & Center Drawer

Instruction: Position the angled desktop panel across the top of the two pedestal units, ensuring the corner fits snugly between them. Align the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the desktop with the top edges of each pedestal. Secure with bolts or screws, tightening evenly. Slide the center drawer into place by matching its runners to the corresponding rails beneath the desktop.

Step 4: Securing the CPU Compartment

Instruction: On the side with the open compartment, confirm that the vertical panel and base are firmly attached. This section often serves as a CPU holder or extra storage space. Align the supporting brackets or shelf boards (if included) with the pre-drilled holes and fasten them with the provided screws.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the entire desk to ensure it’s stable. Tighten any loose bolts and wipe down the surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, personalize your new corner desk—arrange office supplies in the drawers, place your computer in the open compartment, and add a lamp or décor on top.
