There’s no one right way to position your frame on your desktop but there are a few things you’ll want to keep
in mind. Generally speaking, the desktop should be centered over the frame side-to-side, and positioned slightly
forward of center (towards the user) front-to-back.
Side-to-side position
In our experience, desks have better lateral stability the further apart the legs are. We position the screw holes for
the Side Brackets 2 inches in from the sides of the desktop. This leaves about 1” of desktop overhang and maxi-
mizes lateral stability.
Placing the holes at least 2 inches in from the sides lowers the chance that your desktop will split during drilling.
Depending on the rigidity and strength of your desktop material you can leave more of it overhanging the Side
Brackets. For example, on our 78” tops the Side Bracket holes are 5” in from the edge with 4” of overhang.
Laying it out
The easiest way to position your own desktop on Jarvis is to partially assemble the frame and use it as a guide.
This frame assembly is easier to maneuver than the entire frame and will allow you to see exactly how things line
up and where all of the holes should be.
1.
Lay your desktop on a padded workspace with the underside facing up, and the front of the desktop
towards you.
2.
Without the Lifting Columns, attach the Side Brackets to the Frame Ends as shown in steps 2 and 3, on
pages 4 and 5.
3.
Slide the Center Rails into the Frame Ends.
4.
Position the frame assembly on the underside of your desktop, with the screw holes in the Side Brackets
2” or more from the side edges of the top, and the front-most hole the appropriate depth or more from the
front (user-facing) edge of the top.
