This document provides assembly instructions for the Esquire Collection - 47" Straight Desk, a product from NBF Signature Series. The desk is designed with versatility in mind, offering three distinct configuration options to suit various office layouts and needs.

Function Description:

The Esquire Collection - 47" Straight Desk serves as a foundational piece of office furniture, capable of being configured as:

An intermediary desk between two existing desks: This configuration (Option 1) is ideal for creating extended workspaces or collaborative environments, seamlessly connecting two desks to form a larger unit.
A standalone desk with short side panels: This option (Option 2) allows the desk to function independently, providing a complete workstation with a clean, finished look on all sides.
An end-of-run desk, connecting to another desk: This configuration (Option 3) is used to extend an existing desk run, providing additional workspace while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

The desk features a main desktop, a front panel, a counter top, and a glass transaction top, which adds a professional touch and can serve as a reception or interaction surface. The inclusion of both short and large side panels, along with short desk side panels, provides flexibility for different configurations and aesthetic preferences. Levelers are included to ensure stability on uneven surfaces.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific dimensions and material details are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the hardware list offers insights into the construction and components:

Fasteners: The desk primarily utilizes Cam Screws (A), Klix Cams (B), and Dowels (D) for assembly, indicating a robust and secure interlocking construction.
- Cam Screws (A): 26+1 (SPARE)
- Klix Cams (B): 26+1 (SPARE)
- Dowels (D): 20+1 (SPARE)
Covering: Cam Cover Stickers (C) are provided (36+1 SPARE) to conceal exposed Klix Cams and desktop holes, contributing to a clean and professional finish.
Cable Management: Grommets (E) are included (4 PCS, 2x metal silver and 2x black plastic), suggesting integrated cable management solutions for a tidy workspace.
Mounting Hardware:
- Screws (#10*40) (F): 6 PCS, likely for securing the glass transaction top.

- Ø4*16 Screws (K): 30 PCS, used with L-brackets.

Usage Features:

The desk's design emphasizes modularity and ease of assembly, with clear, step-by-step instructions provided for each configuration option.

Configurable Design: The three distinct options (between two desks, standalone, or end-of-run) allow users to adapt the desk to evolving office needs and spaces.
Integrated Cable Management: The inclusion of grommets suggests provisions for routing cables, helping to maintain an organized and clutter-free work surface.
Adjustable Stability: Levelers ensure that the desk can be stabilized on various floor types, preventing wobbling and enhancing user comfort.
Professional Finish: Cam cover stickers are provided to hide visible hardware, contributing to a polished and professional appearance.
Glass Transaction Top: This feature adds a sophisticated element and can be utilized for various purposes, from a reception area to a collaborative surface.

Maintenance Features:

While explicit maintenance instructions are not detailed in the provided pages, the design and components suggest certain aspects:

Concealed Hardware: The use of cam cover stickers helps protect the internal cam mechanisms from dust and minor impacts, potentially extending their lifespan.
Durable Construction: The reliance on cam lock fasteners and dowels indicates a design intended for secure and stable assembly, which generally translates to good long-term durability with proper initial assembly.
Easy Cleaning: The surfaces, particularly the desktop and glass transaction top, are likely designed for easy cleaning with standard office cleaning products. The grommets also help contain cables, making the desk surface easier to wipe down.
Replaceable Components: The provision of spare cam screws, klix cams, and cam cover stickers suggests that minor repairs or replacements of these common components are anticipated and supported.

The Esquire Collection - 47" Straight Desk is presented as a versatile and well-designed office furniture solution, offering flexibility in configuration, a professional aesthetic, and practical features for a modern workspace.
