Step 7

Return tabletop to flat position.

Pencil ledge has two functions, depending on which 

edge faces up. The raised position prevents materials 

from sliding off the tilted surface. The flush position 

provides a comfortable, rounded edge to rest 

forearms against.

Attach pencil ledge (

L

) to front edge of tabletop 

using 3/4" screws (

15

) into pre-drilled holes.  

Use care not to over-tighten or strip screws. 

Now that the table assembly is nearly complete, go 

back and tighten all the leg bolts and screws one 

more time. This will ensure that the table remains 

strong, sturdy, and stable for years of use.

Insert the wood plugs (

14

) into each of the bolt 

holes. Gently tap into place. Since wood products 

have a tendency to expand and contract from season 

to season, remove the wood plugs and re-tighten the 

bolts every six months or so.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Adjust Tilt  

The ratcheted tilt mechanisms allow the tabletop to be set to a variety of comfortable working angles. Simply lift the tabletop 

from the back edge until it clicks into the desired position. To return the top to the flat position, raise the back edge as high as 

it will go, releasing the ratchet mechanism allowing the top to be lowered gently.

Pencil Ledge  

Pencil ledge has two functions, depending on which edge faces up. The raised position prevents materials from sliding off the 

tilted surface. The flush position provides a comfortable, rounded edge to rest forearms against.

Reposition Drawer Dividers  

The drawer has numerous slots for the dividers, for a variety of storage options. It is easiest to reposition the dividers from 

the back of the table. Close the drawer fully and lift the tabletop to its highest tilt position for easiest access.

Care Instructions  

Clean like any other piece of fine wood furniture. Use a soft cloth and avoid harsh or abrasive cleansers.

Seasonal Adjustments  

Since wood products have a tendency to expand and contract from season to season, remove wood plugs and re-tighten all 

the bolts and screws at least one time each year.
