Assembly Instructions
Step 1 - Preparation
A. Before assembly, decide where you want the table
to be located and consider assembling nearby.
B. For ease and safety, we recommend using two
people for assembly.
C. To avoid any damage to your oor or tabletop, we
recommend assembling your table on a debris-free
carpet or blanket.
D. Ensure you have received all components and
hardware before disposing of any packing material.
Lay out the components from all boxes and make
sure the items and quantities match what is shown
in each of the package contents sections in these
instructions.

Step 2 - Attach Crossbar End
A. Place one of the Legs (P1) on the ground with the tab
facing up as shown.
B. Position one of the Crossbar Ends (P2) into the
opening in the Leg as shown so that the holes in the
Leg and the holes in the Crossbar End are aligned.
C. Using the smaller 4mm Allen Wrench (H7), loosely
insert four M6 x 10 Machine Screws (H1) through the
holes in the tab on the inside of the Leg and into the
Crossbar End as shown, but do not tighten them.
D. Position a Top Plate (P6) as shown with the holes in
the plate aligned with the holes in the top of the Leg.
E. IMPORTANT: Ensure the countersunk holes in the
Top Plate are facing AWAY from the leg.
F. Using the same Allen Wrench, loosely insert six
M6 x 10 Hex Drive Flat Head Screws (H2) through
the holes shown in the Top Plate and into the Leg
then insert two more of the same screws into the
Crossbar End as shown, but do not tighten them.
G. Rotate the Crossbar End and Leg assembly so the
Crossbar End is resting on the oor and the Leg is
pointing toward the ceiling.
H. Using the 4mm Allen Wrench, loosely insert two
M6 x 10 Machine Screws through the two larger
holes in the outside face of the Leg and into the
Crossbar End.
I. Completely tighten the two M6 x 10 Hex Drive Flat
Head Screws and six M6 x 10 Machine Screws from
the previous steps with the 4mm Allen Wrench.

Step 3 - Insert Crossbar Rails
A. Slide the Crossbar Rails (P3) into a Crossbar End
(P2) from the previous step as shown. Use either Leg
assembly in this step; they are the same.
Step 4 (if applicable) - Drill Frame Attachment Holes
A. If the bottom side of your tabletop has threaded metal inserts or pre-drilled holes (see diagram), skip this step and
proceed to Step 5.
J. Attach the Logo Plate (P5) by pressing the posts on
the Logo Plate rmly into the two smaller holes in
the outside face of the Leg. The Logo Plate conceals
the two screws in the face of the Leg.
Note: When assembling the Legs in the orientation
shown, the Logo Plate will need to be attached
upside-down so that it is right-side up when the
table is ipped over.
K. Repeat this step for the second Leg and Crossbar
End assembly. P5

IMPORTANT: Don’t drill through your tabletop top
surface. DRILL NO DEEPER THAN 1/2”. To ensure this,
we recommend wrapping a piece of tape around
your drill bit 1/2” from the tip. Stop drilling just
before the tape touches the tabletop.
Move the Leg assembly out of the way and drill pilot
holes at your pencil marks using a 1/8” drill bit.
E. Follow the same pre-drilling process with the other
Leg assembly at the other end of the tabletop.

Step 5 - Attach Leg Assembly to Table Top
A. Begin with the Leg assembly with Crossbar Rails inserted into the Crossbar End.
B. Align the holes in the Leg assembly with the holes on the tabletop as shown. When adjusting the location of the Leg
assembly on your tabletop, lift it when moving instead of sliding to help protect the surface from scratches.
For 30” deep tabletops: align the holes with the
center slots as shown by the arrows in the 30” deep
tabletop image.

24” deep tabletop
For 24” deep tabletops: align the metal inserts or
pre-drilled holes with the side slots that center the
tabletop as shown by the arrows in the 24” deep
tabletop image.
B. Select the side that will be the top surface of your
tabletop and make sure that side is facing down.
Make sure you only drill into the bottom surface of
the tabletop.
C. Place the Leg assembly from Step 3 onto the
tabletop as shown so the Leg assembly is centered
between the front and back edges of the tabletop
and approximately 1/4” in from the outside edge of
the tabletop.
D. Make a pencil mark in the center of each of the three
middle holes in the Top Plate indicated by the arrows.

For tabletops with threaded metal inserts: Use the
#10-24 x 3/4” Machine Screws (H4a) and Washers
(H5) for the following steps. Do not use the Wood
Screws with the pointed end.
For tabletops without threaded metal inserts: Use
the #10 x 3/4” Wood Screws (H4b) and Washers (H5)
for the following steps.
D. Use a Phillips head screwdriver and the screws and
washers determined above to attach the Leg to the
tabletop, but do not tighten the screws completely yet.
E. Position the other Leg assembly onto the Crossbar
Rails (P3) and repeat the steps above for attaching
the other Leg.

Step 6 - Position Center Rail
A. Slide each Crossbar Rail (P3) left or right until the
center indicator marks are approximately centered
between the two Crossbar Ends (P2).
B. Insert four M8 x 8 Set Screws (H3) into each
Crossbar End and tighten using the 4mm Allen
Wrench.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all eight set screws make
contact with the Crossbar Rail inside the Crossbar
Ends.

Step 7 - Attach Crossbar Brackets
A. There is a left and a right Crossbar Bracket (P4).
Position them over the center threaded insert in
the desktop as shown, with the two-holed tabs
pointing in toward each other. Loosely attach them
to the Crossbar End (P2) in the orientation shown
using four M8 x 10 Machine Screws (H6), but do not
tighten the screws yet.
F. Tighten all of the screws that were started in this step. Take care when tightening not to strip the screws.

B. There are two sets of holes in the Crossbar Brackets
to align with 24” and 30” deep tabletops.
• If you have a tabletop with threaded metal
inserts or pre-drilled holes: use one of the
screws selected in Step 5 and one #10 Washer
(H5) to attach each bracket to the tabletop.
• If you have a tabletop that does not have
threaded metal inserts or pre-drilled holes:
follow the instructions in Step 4 to pre-drill a
hole in the center of one of the two holes in each
Crossbar Bracket, then use one #10 x ¾” Wood
Screw (H4b) and one #10 Washer (H5) to attach
each bracket to the tabletop.
C. Tighten the four M8 x 10 Machine Screws that were
started in this step using the 5mm Allen Wrench
(H8).
Step 8 - Install Accessories
If you purchased any of the following accessories, we recommend installing them now.
Casters
A. Remove the pre-installed Leveling Glides from the
Feet by unscrewing them counterclockwise from
the mounting holes.
B. Install a Caster in each of the Leveling Glide
mounting holes by turning the stem of the Caster
clockwise. Use a at wrench to tighten the hex nut
on the Casters.

Step 9 - Ensure All Screws are Tight
IMPORTANT: With the table upside down, take a moment to conrm all frame screws are tight using the Allen Wrench and
Phillips head screwdriver. This is an important step, and it is much easier to ensure the screws are tight before ipping the
table upright.
Frame screws include pre-applied Loctite to stay tight over time, so tightening thoroughly this one time is all you need.
WMK008 Wire Management Tray
Most UPLIFT tabletops include two pre-drilled holes
about 12” apart located near the back of the tabletop.
If your tabletop includes grommets, these holes will
be located between them. These holes are meant for
attaching the WMK008 Wire Management Tray. If
you choose to place the Tray in a different location,
refer to Step 4 to make pre-drilled holes for the Wire
Management Tray attachment, and be careful not to drill
through your tabletop. Attach the tray to the tabletop
using two #10 x 5/8” Wood Screws.
Anchor Plates
Various UPLIFT Desk accessories were designed to attach
to the patented mounting points located along the sides
of the Crossbar Ends (P2) on the frame. Some of these
accessories require the use of the Anchor Plates. Refer to
the instructions provided with each accessory for specic
mounting instructions. If the Anchor Plates are required,
attach them using the M8 x 10 Machine Screws that came
with the Anchor Plate and tighten the screws using the
5mm Allen Wrench (H8).

Step 10 - Table Placement
When preparing to ip the table over, be aware of any
attached accessories, especially an accessory that
might move on a track like a Keyboard Tray or CPU
Holder.
A. With one person located at each end of the table,
support the table frame and the tabletop equally
and begin to tilt it slowly toward the front or back
side so the Legs are touching the oor.
B. Adjust your grip and continue to rotate the table
until it is right-side up with all four Legs completely
on the oor.
C. Position your table where you would like it to be.
• If your table has Casters: moving is easy! If your
Casters include locks, make sure they are unlocked
and roll the table to the desired location. Be sure to
relock the Casters to keep the table stationary.
• If your table does not have Casters: do not drag the
table! Use two people to lift the table by holding
onto the tabletop and frame together. Never lift the
table by just the tabletop. This puts undue stress
on the attachment screws. Be sure to hold the
frame when lifting.
D. If your table does not have casters installed, adjust
the Leveling Glides as needed to level the table.
