Meet Part (F2). This component has
been engineered to be lighter, stronger,
faster… well ok. Not technically faster.
But definitely makes for a sturdier L
Desk that’s easier to assemble and
friendlier to the environment.

and CENTER UPRIGHT (D). Use four GOLD 5/16" FLAT
HEAD SCREWS (3S) through holes #1 and #3.

cartridge of the EXTENSION RAIL in to find the other hole
that lines up with the hole in the END and UPRIGHT. Turn
a SCREW into this hole.
