Question, do they give instructions on how to attach the drawers to the countertop?

@MakersMax

Жыл бұрын

@@s2klivin39 No - they are all separate pieces that I used to create a "desk." All you have to do is rest the countertop on the drawers, or you can use rubber seperaters to really secure it in place. Really simple yet aesthetic build!

I did this during the pandemic because I had no desk at home. I put locking wheels on the cabinets for ease of movement.

Thank you, Cindy! Cheers!

What I like is just how easy it is to move (3 pieces). I think that I'd put a locating pin in the top of those drawer pieces and then a tiny bit larger hole in the bottom of the table top. Then it's locked in position. Even 2 in each would be better. Impossible to slide the top off even if you pushed hard. Also, nice to see it in this colour, I was eyeing this one and it's a solid top for a monitor arm!
