DRAWING DESK
Contents: Pre-Assembled Art Surface with a wood paper cutter strip
Feet (wood pegs with rounded balls on one end)
Paper Roll Rod (wood rod with slots on each end)
Hardware Pack (2 each: bolts, washers and wing nuts)
Assembly:
Your Drawing Desk is
packaged assembled and
ready for use. If you use
the Drawing Desk right
out of the box, be sure you
store the hardware pack,
paper holder rod and feet
in a safe place for possible
use in the future.
To use the feet, simply tap
the wood pegs into the
holes provided on the bot-
tom edges of the desk as-
sembly. The feet will hold
your desk up on an angle.
To use the Paper Roll Rod, slide a roll of Beka Art Paper (or a similar roll of paper) over the rod.
Orient it so the paper will unroll from the bottom of the roll. Position the notched ends of the
wood rod above the holes provided in the desk assembly. Slide a bolt through the notch and
through the hole, securing it with a washer and wing nut as shown. Repeat this on the other end.
Position art paper so it will move across the art surface and under the wood paper cutter, which
helps hold the paper in place during use. To tear off used paper, place a hand on paper still on the
art board to hold it in place. Tear the paper by lifting it up so it is creased against the cutter, as
you would with standard kitchen wrap.
Art Surface:
Your Drawing Desk art surface will support a range of projects using paper. In addition, the
white wipe-off markerboard surface is designed for use with high quality dry erase markers and
special dry erase crayons. Test markers on a corner of the board to insure easy erasure before al-
lowing general use. It is helpful to clean the surface regularly to minimize staining. You can use
white-board cleaners, but avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the art surface.
Also: be aware that excessive use of liquids may damage the board.
Warning – Adult Assembly Required!
Enclosed hardware includes small pieces,
so may present hazards to children.
Once assembled, an adult should
check hardware periodically for tightness.
Always dispose of plastic bags and unused hardware
appropriately, as they may pose choking hazards to children.
