Assembly Instructions
Step 1 - Inventory of Parts
A. Before assembly, consider where you want your
desk to be located. Since your new desk is height
adjustable, it should be located a safe distance
from anything that could obstruct the desk from
being raised or lowered, like a wall mounted shelf or
cabinet.
B. For ease and safety, we recommend using two
people for assembly.
C. To avoid any damage to your oor or desktop, we
recommend assembling your desk on a debris-free
carpet or blanket.
D. Lay out the components from all boxes. Conrm the
items and quantities match what is shown in the
Package Contents section above before disposing
of any packing material.
Step 2 - Foot & Front Crossbar Rail
Attachment
A. Lay the Legs (C1) down with the Crossbar Mounts facing
the oor as shown.
Caution:
To prevent possible injury or damage to equipment
and your surroundings, never press the paddle during
installation.
B. Place one Crossbar Rail (C4) on the front side of
the Legs with the cable cutout facing up and the
larger diameter holes facing out.
C. Align the outside of the Leg with the end of the
Crossbar Rail so they are ush and the screw
holes are aligned. Start two of the M6 x 10
Machine Screws (H1) through the Crossbar Rail
holes and into the Leg. Rotate each screw only a
few turns, but do not tighten them.
D. Align the other end of the front Crossbar Rail
with the outside edge of the other leg so that
the holes in each part are aligned, and start two
more of the M6 x 10 Machine Screws through the
holes, but do not tighten them.

Step 3 - Crossbar Attachment
A. Gently stand the legs upright. It is okay to let the
Control Paddle hang down.
B. Loosely thread two of the M6 x 6 Machine Screws
(H2) into the top holes of the Crossbar Mounts
on the back of each of the legs. The lower holes
should be kept empty for now.
C. With the keyholes on the Crossbar (C3) facing up
and the smooth face towards the back, hang the
Crossbar on the screws.

and into the Legs.
E. Leave all the screws loose until the end of the
next step.
Step 4 - Rear Crossbar Rail Attachment
A. Loosely attach the second Crossbar Rail (C4) on the
back side of the Legs. Ensure the cable cutout on
the second Crossbar Rail is facing up and the larger
diameter holes face out.
B. Align the outside of the Leg with the end of the
Crossbar Rail so they are ush and the screw holes
are aligned. Start two of the M6 x 10 Machine Screws
(H1) through the Crossbar Rail holes and into the
Leg. Rotate each screw only a few turns, but do not
tighten them.
C. Align the other end of the front Crossbar Rail with
the outside edge of the other leg so that the holes in
each part are aligned, and start two more of the M6
x 10 Machine Screws through the holes, but do not
tighten them.

Step 5 - Leg Shipping Bracket Removal
Remove the plastic shipping bracket from the top of
each Leg as shown and discard.
Make sure the long end of the Side
Brackets face the same direction
as the long end of the Feet.
Step 6 - Side Bracket Attachment
A. Align the holes in the side of the Right Side
Bracket (C5) with the holes on the Leg with
the Control Paddle. The long end of the
Side Bracket should be facing the same
direction as the long end of the Foot as
shown.
B. Loosely insert two M5 x 12 Flat Head
Screws (H3) through the side of the Side
Bracket and into the Leg. Do not tighten
the screws.
C. Repeat the previous steps to loosely
attach the Left Side Bracket (C6).

Step 8 - Control Paddle Adapter Attachment
A. Place your desktop on a debris-free carpet or blanket with the top surface facing down and the bottom surface with
the pre-drilled holes and threaded metal inserts facing up (see diagrams).
B. With the counter-sink (larger) side of the holes facing up, align the holes in the Control Paddle Adapter (C8) with the
four pre-drilled holes on the left side of the desktop as shown.
Note: This will be on the right side of the desk when it is ipped upright.
C. Loosely insert one #10 x 3/4” Wood Screw (H4) through each hole in the Control Paddle Adapter and into the holes in the
desktop using a Phillips head screwdriver.
D. Once all four screws have been started, tighten them. Be careful not to overtighten the screws to avoid stripping the

Bottom Side of Desktop Top Side of Desktop
B. Align the Cross Braces with the holes near the
center of the Crossbar Rails (C4) as shown and
loosely insert two M5 x 12 Flat Head Screws (H3)
through the counter-sunk holes of each Cross Brace
and into the Crossbar Rails.
C. Once all four screws are started, fully tighten them
with the 3mm Allen Wrench (H7).
Note: When tightened, the tops of the screw heads
should be ush with the top of the Cross Brace. If
they are not, try ipping the Cross Brace over so the
larger side of the holes is facing up.

Step 9 - Frame and Control Paddle Attachment
A. With two people positioned on opposite ends of the frame assembly holding the Side Bracket with one hand and the
Leg with the other, gently begin to rotate the frame toward the back so the Control Paddle and cable are facing up and
the back ends of the Feet and Side Brackets are resting on the ground.
Note: Mind the Control Paddle cable as you ip the frame.
B. Readjust your grip on the Side Bracket and Leg and
gently rotate the frame again until it is upside down
with the Side Brackets resting on the ground and
the Feet facing up as shown.
C. Carefully lift the frame and position it onto the bottom
surface of the desktop so the long ends of the Side
Brackets are facing the edge of the desktop with the
Control Paddle Adapter (C8) attached. When positioning
your frame on the desktop, lift it up. DO NOT SLIDE THE
FRAME. This will help protect the underside of your
desktop from scratches.

10
Step 10 - Cover Attachment
A. Place the Cover (C9) on the frame as shown.
B. Loosely attach the Cover with six M6 x 10
Machine Screws (H1).
C. When all the screws are started, tighten them
using the 4mm Allen Wrench (H8).
H. Line up the Control Paddle with the threaded holes
in the Control Paddle Adapter (C8) and attach it
with two M6 x 6 Machine Screws (H2) using the
4mm Allen Wrench (H8).
I. Feed any excess cable back into the cutout in the
Crossbar Rail. Be careful not to let the cable bind or
kink.
F. Loosely insert two more #10-24 x 3/4” Machine
Screws with #10 Flat Washers through each Cross
Brace near the center of the frame between the
Crossbar Rails and into the metal threaded inserts.
Do not tighten them yet.
G. Once all eight screws have been started, tighten
them the rest of the way. Be careful not to
overtighten the screws to prevent stripping.
D. Carefully position the frame so that the three holes
in each Side Bracket align with the metal threaded
inserts along the sides of the desktop.
E. Loosely insert three of the #10-24 x 3/4” Machine
Screws (H5) with #10 Flat Washers (H6) through the
holes in the Side Brackets and into the threaded
metal inserts at the sides of the desktop using a
Phillips head screwdriver. Do not tighten them yet.

Step 11 - Caster Installation (optional)
If you purchased Casters for your desk, we
recommend installing them now.
A. Remove the pre-installed leveling glides from
the Feet by rotating them counterclockwise to
unthread them from the mounting holes.
B. Thread the stem of a Caster into each of the
leveling glide holes by turning it clockwise. If the
Casters have a hex nut for tightening, use a at
wrench to tighten them.
C. If your Casters have locks, engage them. This will
keep them from rotating when it is time to ip
the desk upright.
Step 12 - Desk Placement
A. With one person located at each end of
the desk, support the desk frame and the
desktop equally and begin to tilt it slowly
toward the back of the desk so that the
Control Paddle is facing up and the backs
of the Feet are touching the oor.
B. Readjust your grip and continue to rotate
the desk until it is right side up with both
Feet completely on the oor.
C. Position your desk where you would like it to be.
1. With Casters: Moving is easy! If your Casters
include locks, make sure they are unlocked and
roll the desk to the desired location. Relock the
Casters to keep the desk stationary.
2. Without Casters: Using two people, lift your
desk (do not drag it) by holding onto the desktop
and Side Brackets together. Never lift the desk by
just the desktop, doing so will put undue stress
on the attachment screws. Be sure to hold the
frame Side Brackets when lifting. Adjust the
Leveling Glides as needed to level the desk.
D. Check your desk’s surroundings to make sure
there are no obstacles in the desk’s path while
being raised or lowered. Do not place any objects
underneath the desk taller than the underside of
the desk when it is in the lowered position.

C. Check the actuation of the Control Paddle by depressing
it. Slightly adjust the knob until the action is smooth and
to your liking.
Step 14 - Install Screw Cover Badges
A. Install the Screw Cover Badges (C10) by
pressing the posts on the back side of the
badges into the two holes in each of the Side
Brackets near the attachment screws.
B. Turn the cable tension knob clockwise until the
Control Paddle is rm with no loose movement.
Step 13 - Tighten Control Paddle Cable
A. To prevent possible injury, the Control Paddle
cable is shipped in a loosened state so it can’t
accidentally activate the pneumatic legs. The cable
will need to be tightened before the pneumatic legs
and desk are functional.
