Step-by-Step Guide to Assembling a Gray Wood Desk with Hutch and Drawers

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully unpack all the components, including the desktop, side panels, drawer parts, hutch pieces, and hardware (screws, bolts, and brackets). Arrange them on a clean surface, checking them off against the parts list to ensure nothing is missing.

Step 2: Building the Main Frame

Instruction: Identify the left and right side panels. Attach the horizontal support pieces and the bottom shelf according to the pre-drilled holes. Make sure all corners are square before tightening the screws fully. This frame will form the base of your desk.

Step 3: Attaching the Desktop

Instruction: Carefully place the main desktop panel on top of the frame. Align the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the desktop with the corresponding brackets on the side panels. Secure it using the provided bolts. Confirm that the desktop is level and stable.

Step 4: Assembling & Installing Drawers

Instruction: Next, assemble the drawers. Attach each drawer’s side panels to the front and back pieces, then slide in the bottom board. Secure the drawer handles on the front panel if they’re not pre-installed. Align the drawer runners with the desk’s rails, then gently slide each drawer into place.

Step 5: Building & Securing the Hutch

Instruction: The top hutch provides additional storage compartments. Assemble it by attaching the small dividers to the hutch’s back and top panels. Once the hutch is fully formed, position it on the back edge of the desktop. Fasten it with the supplied screws or brackets, following the pre-drilled holes.

Final Checks & Personalization Give your newly assembled desk a gentle shake to ensure everything is stable. Tighten any loose screws and wipe down the surface with a soft cloth. Now it’s time to set up your workspace—add a lamp, store your books and supplies in the drawers or hutch compartments, and enjoy your organized, stylish new desk!
