Tips:
This desk is way easier to build upside down with everything attached to the desk’s top. There’s enough wiggle room to get the most of the various spanners in place without taking everything down.
Both the drawers are built the same way but come in different lengths, so you can do the same steps on both at the same time.
The center spanner between the legs and the cabinet is going to be a U shape with all the camlocks all facing the opening of the desk.
The door hinges have adjustment screws for height, width and depth. It’s probably best to use a hand screwdriver to make these adjustments.
This desk build is fully reversable with the only difference being where the cabinet and drawers end up.
