FAQs
Can this desk be used as a standalone flat desk or only as an L-shape?
Yes, the Longton desk is designed to be configured as either a flat wall desk or an L-shaped corner desk, offering flexibility based on your space and needs.

Troubleshooting
Desk wobbles or feels unstable.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the desk is on a level surface. If assembling the L-shape, confirm the connecting pieces are aligned correctly.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly.
Double-check the orientation of each panel against the instruction manual. Ensure no hardware is obstructing the connection points before attempting to join panels.
Drawer or door does not close properly.
Check for any obstructions inside the drawer or on the runners. Ensure the hinges or drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned as per the manual.
Surface shows minor scratches.
Minor surface scratches can often be minimized by gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches on the melamine finish, consider a furniture repair pen suitable for the grey colour.
