Step 2
Place Crossbar ends (C5) upside down as shown. In-
sert the Leg (C4) so that the back of the Leg and the
back of the Crossbar end are ush.
To avoid cross-threading and to ensure all the screw
holes are lined up, start the four M6x10 Machine screws
(H1) by rotating each for only a few turns through the
Crossbar end holes into the Leg as shown, but do not
tighten them all the way.
Once all four screws have been started, tighten them
all the way using the 4mm Allen wrench (H6).
Repeat this step for the 2nd Leg.
Step 1
Count all pieces before disposing of any packing ma-
terial. Inspect both sides of your desktop for dam-
age. To avoid any damage to your oor or your desk,
assemble on top of a debris-free carpeted area or a
blanket.
For ease and safety, we recommend two people for
assembly.
Before assembly, consider where you want your desk
to be located. Since your new desk is height adjust-
able, you will want it located a safe distance from win-
dow frames, furniture, radiators, or anything else that
could obstruct the desk from raising or lowering. Do
not place any objects underneath the desk that are
taller than 21”, and consider any accessories mounted
to your desk that would lower even further than the
desk itself.

Step 3
Slide the Side bracket (C2) tabs into the Crossbar end
(C5) and, just like the last step, secure it loosely by us-
ing two M6x10 screws (H1).
Rotate each screw by hand for only a few turns to
avoid cross-threading.
Once both screws are started, tighten all the way us-
ing the 4mm Allen wrench (H6).
Repeat this step for the 2nd Leg.

DESK ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION: If you are assembling a 3-leg desk, refer instead to the 3-leg
instructions in the 3rd Leg Box, and disregard this 2-leg instruction booklet.

Slide the Crossbar rails into one of the Crossbar ends
(C5).
Step 4
Orient the Crossbar rails (C6) so that the Center indi-
cator marks are facing up, the slots are facing inward
(towards each other) and the slot on the Crossbar rails
is farther from the oor, as shown below .
Center indicator marks
Step 5
Place your Desktop upside down on a debris-free
carpeted area or a blanket. Make sure the Desktop is
upside down. If your Desktop has pre-drilled holes or
threaded inserts, they should be visible and facing up.
When placing your frame on your Desktop, lift it up.
DO NOT SLIDE IT. This will help protect your desk-
top and keep the rubber grommets on the frame as-
sembly from dislodging. If they do become dislodged,
they can be easily re-inserted.
For Desktops that have Pre-Drilled Holes or Thread-
ed Screw Inserts: Move the frame assembly by lifting,
and line it up with the pre-drilled holes or threaded
inserts on the Desktop.
For Desktops without Pre-Drilled Holes: Move the Leg
assembly by lifting, and place it where you would like.
Measure from the Desktop edges to ensure symme-
try unless you have an asymmetrical Desktop. Make a
pencil mark at each hole location.
If you own a drill, you can make pilot holes to make this
a little easier. Use it with a 1/8” diameter drill bit and,
ensuring that you DO NOT DRILL DEEPER THAN 1/2”,
drill pilot holes where you’ve made your marks. Check
that the frame assembly is in the right location prior
to drilling by conrming that your marks are lined up.
The slots on the Crossbar rails are offset, and should be farther from the oor.

Step 7
Attach one of the Leg assemblies to the Desktop us-
ing four of the washers and screws chosen in Step 6.
Do not tighten all the way.
If the hole in the Crossbar end (C5) does not line up
with the pre-drilled hole or threaded insert on the
Desktop, use a Crossbar end adapter (C3) and loosely
attach it with the Screw chosen in step 6 and a Washer
(H5) as shown in Figure 1. Do not tighten all the way.
For Desktops without Pre-Drilled Holes or Threaded
screw Inserts: Loosely fasten the Crossbar end (C5)
to the Desktop using a Wood screw (H4a) with a
Washer (H5).
Do not tighten all the way.
Step 8
Once the rst side is done, slide the other Leg assem-
bly onto the Crossbar rails.
Attach the Leg assembly to the Desktop by following
the same instructions as Steps 6 and 7.
After all eight screws are started, go back and tighten
them all the way. Be careful to not over-tighten, to
avoid stripping.
Step 6
For Desktops with Threaded Screw Inserts: You’ll be
using the #10-24x3/4” Machine screws (H4b) along
with Washers (H5) for the following two steps.
For Desktops without Threaded Screw Inserts: You’ll
be using the #10x3/4” Wood screws (H4a) along with
Washers (H5) for the following two steps.

Wood screw: pointy end

Step 9
Slide each Crossbar rail (C6) until the Center indicator
mark is in the middle. Once this is done, the Crossbar
rail will be centered and in the proper position.
Insert the eight M8x8 Set screws (H3) into the Cross-
bar ends (four on each side) to secure each Crossbar
rail, then tighten using the 4mm Allen wrench (H6).

Step 11
Plug the Power cable (C9) into the power socket on
the Control box (C7) marked “AC”. Next, position the
Control box with the power cord end pointing towards
the Leg on the side of your desk that has the Keypad.
Slide the tabs of the Control box to interlock with the
slots on the Crossbar end (C5). See diagram below.
C7
Top view of Control box tabs & Crossbar end slot. This is just an il-
lustration, you won’t be able to see this when installing.
Step 10
Choose which side of the Desktop you’d like your
Keypad to be on. Remember that you’re installing
your desk upside down, so the nal location of the
Keypad will be opposite of what you’re seeing during
assembly.
For Desktops with Pre-Drilled Holes: There are two
sets of holes to accommodate different Keypads. Line
up your Keypad (C8) with the pre-drilled holes, and
attach it to the Desktop with two #10x5/8’’ Wood
screws (H14).
For Desktops without Pre-Drilled Holes: The Keypad
(C8) can be placed anywhere along the front edge
of the Desktop. Typically you will want it to the side
where it won’t interfere with your legs, your chair, or
any accessories. After carefully considering the place-
ment, hold the Keypad in the desired location and
make a pencil mark at each hole location.
If you own a drill, you can make pilot holes to make this
a little easier. Use a 1/8” diameter drill bit and, ensur-
ing that you DO NOT DRILL DEEPER THAN 1/2”, drill
pilot holes where you’ve made your marks. Or you can
drive the screws directly into the desktop if you do
not own a drill. Then fasten the keypad with the two
#10x5/8” Wood screws (H14).

Step 12
Plug the Leg closest to the Control box (C7) directly
into the white port marked “M1” which is on the same
end as the Power cable.
Plug the other leg into the Leg cable (C10), and then
plug the Leg cable into the white port on the Control
box marked “M2”.
Now, plug the Keypad (C8) into the Control box port
labeled “HS”.
Installing Wire Management Tray:
Install the Wire management tray (C12) to help wrangle
your wires. Imagine where all of your wires will be once
your desk is entirely set up with all your peripherals.
We recommend placing an outlet strip into the Wire
management tray, and plugging everything on your
desk into that outlet strip to allow for cords to travel
along with the desk and only have one cable running
to a wall outlet.
Once you know where you want the tray, make a pen-
cil mark at each hole location and attach it to your
desktop using two #10x5/8’’ Wood screws (H14).
If you own a drill, you can make pilot holes to make this
a little easier. Use it with a 1/8” diameter drill bit and,
ensuring that you DO NOT DRILL DEEPER THAN 1/2”,
drill pilot holes where you’ve made your marks.
Desk Cable Management:
Use the included Cable mounts (H9) to organize your
wires, keep a clean presentation, and prevent any wires
from snagging on anything when adjusting height. The
Cable mounts work best when stuck directly to the
metal desk frame. Attach Cable mounts to the inside
of frame parts. You might want to save some for once
you have everything on your desk plugged in.
Note: Before securing all wires, check that the Frame
screw under the Control box is tight.
Now is a good time to install accessories such as wire management, CPU holders, keyboard trays, or anything
else that fastens to the bottom of your desk. This section will cover Accessories that are included with this
Frame. For additional accessories, refer to the instructions that came with those accessories.

Future desk accessories:
UPLIFT Desk offers various desk accessories that will
mount easily to our innovative, patent-pending desk
frame. Accessories will either mount directly to the
Crossbar ends, or will require the two included Anchor
plates (C11).
Read your accessory’s instructions to see if you’ll need
the Anchor plates for installation. If so, attach them to
the frame using four M8x10 machine screws (H7), and
tighten using the 5mm Allen wrench (H8) at the loca-
tions mentioned in the accessory’s instructions.

Step 14
Double check that all screws on the desk are tight.
And then check all screws again and make sure they’re
tight. This isn’t a typo, it’s important and it’s far easier
to tighten them with the desk upside down than it is
later.
Be careful not to miss the screws marked with an
arrow in the diagram. Don’t forget that one of the
screws is under the Control box.
Step 13
Make sure the long end of the C-frame feet (C1) are
facing towards the front of the desk, in the same di-
rection as the Side brackets.
Place the foot onto the Leg (C4) as shown. Loosely
start four M6x14 Machine screws (H2) by hand.
Once all four screws have been started, tighten all the
way using the 4mm Allen wrench (H6). Repeat this
step for the 2nd foot.
Note: If you purchased Casters, remove the leveling
pads and install the Casters now.
