Assembly Instructions
NOTE: Please do not fully tighten all bolts until you finish assembling all parts. Once assembled, go
back and fully tighten all bolts. This will make the assembly easier.
1. Unpack the unit and confirm that you have all the hardware and required parts. Assemble the unit on a
carpeted floor or the empty carton to avoid any scratch.
2. Place the Desk Top (A) upside down on a level and protected surface near your final location.
3. Orient and attach two Legs (B) to the bottom panel of the Desk Top (A) against the back edge, using
eight 25 mm Bolts (2), eight Lock Washers (3) and eight Flat Washers (4).
4. Orient and attach the Metal Stretcher (C) to the installed two Legs (B) with four 15 mm Bolts (1), four
Lock Washers (3) and four Flat Washers (4). Make sure two long ends of the Metal Stretcher (C) face
front of the unit so you can stretch your legs comfortably.

unscrew the bolts located on the front of the drawer. Re-install the handle to the front of the drawer with
the same bolts.

Care and Maintenance
 Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
 Use of furniture polish is not necessary. Should you choose to use polish, test first in an inconspicuous area.
 Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage your furniture’s finish.
 Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
 Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
 Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft, clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid rubbing.
 Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may create
spotting within the furniture finish.
 In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that you call a
professional to repair your furniture.
 Check bolts/screws periodically and tighten them if necessary.
Further Advice about Wood Furniture Care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and humidity changes
can cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep furniture away from direct
sunlight as sun may damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and helpful
tips will enhance your furniture as it ages.
We hope you enjoy your purchase for many years.
