Using this Gator desk is a breeze. First, unpack it carefully as it comes flat - packed. Assemble the desk following the included instructions. Place your small studio monitors, MIDI control surface, or mixer on the double - level platform. If you're using a 49 - note keyboard, use the soft - close slide - out keyboard tray. You can customize the 4U rack space according to your needs. Mount your desktop mic boom arm on the pre - bored holes. For cable management, use the removable inner panel in the legs. When using on an uneven floor, adjust the leveling feet. As for maintenance, keep the desk clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the natural maple matte finish. Make sure to check the connections and fasteners regularly to ensure stability.
