Do you need to install the built-in desk during assembly?

The desk top can be left off but the frame helps hold the whole thing together.

Yes but it's very easy. You will be setting up part of the desk as you are building the bed. I strongly believe the last three steps are the desk and the support bars for it.

Yes. It is one long board that comes preassembled to a metal rail. You bolt in about 7 bolts to secure it. The desk part is heavy and the most awkward part. Best to have a little help on this step. Definitely do not tighten all 7 bolts until they are all started.

Definitely. The desk is very heavy and sturdy, and it helps stabilize the bed. Without it the bed would be unusably wobbly.

There are pre-drilled holes for the raised platform. You could use the desk without it, but you would have holes in the desk unless you found something to cover them up.

Yes it does have to be assembled. It is easy and fast and all tools are included.

Yes. They come with the desk. It takes a while to assemble, but not too hard.

This desk is assembled with Allen screws and they are included. Recommend a electric screwdriver. You will also need a hammer. It's a excellent desk!! I hope this helps!!

HiBasically assembly instructions should come with a desk if it did not come with instructions not try to send a message to the sellerAnyway try to search the Internet mounting instructions

from memory i think it has to be installed as per picture and instructions. If you have not already bought this desk i would recommend against buying it. Although it is a good looking desk, anytime you bump into it with your chair or anything else, the black covering will chip and come away. I really thought i had found a solid desk, but cheap build quaility, even the heavy top chips!!! Stay away and spend your money on something else.....

You would have to do some assembling but its nothing extensive and quiet simple. The majority of the desk is already assembled so it just leaves the legs and mirror. Hope this helps.

Yes, there's a good bit of assembly. FWIW - I love the desk and am very, very happy with it.

I'm not sure if you mean the shelf on the bottom or the shelf that bridges the two desk components together. If you mean the shelf on the bottom, you certainly don't have to install that. The shelf along the top you don't have to install but you'll see the holes in the file drawer and bookshelf components.

Yes. Once the desk is assembled, the keyboard tray will stop and will not come out.

no, the desk top is part of the structure strength ... it's actually a particleboard top attached to a steel tube frame ... you'd have to fabricate parts to tie the lower half together without the desktop

No, you have to assemble it. We ordered the chair in advance so we had time to put it together before my husband's surgery.

There is a detailed instruction manual included. We actually purchased 10 of these desks. It took three men two days to build all ten, so it does take a while to do it. I would estimate that it took them 3-4 hours for the first desk. the others were faster since they already knew how to do it.

The desk that comes with this is what provides a lot of the support. So you would probably want to assemble this as it comes.

Yes, and the holes for the screws are hidden as well by a thin vinyl coating on the desk that you normally have to pierce with screws. So if you do not add the shelf it won't look weird. It's a complicated desk to put together but overall VERY good.

The desk can be assembled to either configuration. Assemble the desk close to where it will set, because it is heavy.
