FAQs
Does this desk come with a keyboard tray?
No, this model features six dedicated storage drawers but does not include a pull-out keyboard tray.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a screwdriver and a mallet. A level is also recommended to ensure the frame is square during assembly.
Can the drawers be swapped to the other side?
The desk is designed with a specific configuration; it is generally not recommended to swap the drawer units as the pre-drilled holes are specific to the design.
Is the finish water-resistant?
The finish is resistant to light moisture, but it should not be exposed to standing water or heavy liquids which can damage the wood surface.
How much weight can the desk surface support?
While it is built to be sturdy for office use, it is designed for typical office equipment; avoid placing extremely heavy items like heavy solid wood cabinets on top.
Troubleshooting
Drawer does not slide smoothly
Check that the drawer slides are installed level and that no screws are protruding into the track path.
Desk feels wobbly after assembly
Verify that all bolts and cam locks are fully tightened and that the desk is positioned on a level floor surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The desk is shipped unassembled. It is recommended to assemble the unit in the room where it will be used, as the completed frame can be cumbersome. Ensure you have a clear floor space and a soft surface, such as a rug, to prevent scratching the finish during construction. Always use a manual screwdriver to avoid overtightening and stripping the hardware.
Compatibility: The aesthetic is neutral enough to complement most modern or mid-century modern office furniture. The height is standard, making it compatible with most ergonomic office chairs.
Care: To maintain the brown finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes that contain wax or silicone, as these may leave residue on the surface. If spills occur, wipe them up immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry the area thoroughly.
