Assembly Instructions1. Assemble the Lack side table according to the instructions in the

packaging.

2. Place the Lack side table on top of your existing desk, and your computer monitor or laptop on top of the side table.

3. Add a textbook underneath the monitor to raise the height if necessary. You want your head to be straight and your eyes to naturally fall into the top 1/3 of the screen.

4. Measure the distance for the brackets. Consider using a twist-tie and stacking them on top of a ream of paper or by placing the shelf underneath the bracket in order to get the height precise.

5. Screw the brackets into the legs of the table with an approximately 1.5 inch long flat head screw. Place the shelf on top. Optionally, screw the shelf into the brackets.
