I am not planning on using the lower bed and was wondering is there a way to assemble this so the desk faces inside of the loft area?

Yes, it can be done. However, for that you need to put the desk on the other side!

Suggest that you do not. It is not a desk, it's a very small corner table. Please look at the dimensions on the page.

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

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

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.

I suppose you could assemble it without the tray but it is so handy I would not remove it now for any reason. The tray is attached to slider rails on the bottom by two screws on each side and can be removed easily. The desk seems to be steady enough when the tray is pulled out all the way, so I doubt that the tray is making a lot if difference. The desk is beautiful and very handy to use, I love mine just the way it is.

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.

my sons bed is the same way and if you don't move it around it is ok. you could also put a flat sheet or something down on the wood first.

My husband put it together and believes you can make that adjustment...however, you would have to take it apart and re-assemble it. He would have to go to my Mom's and check it out to be sure. She doesn't use it in the bedroom, but uses it in her living room by her lift chair. It is very easy for her to move around and is very sturdy.

You probably could use only the 2 rectangular pieces, and eliminate the corner piece. It seems it might be less stable that way, but it looks like it could be done - you'd just have two separate tables to configure how you want them. All together, though, it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. It's a great desk for the price.

No, I don't think so...although we didn't try. The left and right pieces are separately assembled and then connected using the central flat desk piece. Everything is pre-drilled and I don't believe the hole pattern would permit the arrangement you are describing.

It can be assembled without back but it does add a bit to the lateral strength. Since the back is just heavy cardboard, you should be able to cut it to cover or leave open any area you wish. Floor to desk surface is 27 3/4 inches (I put thin scuff pads on each leg because it is on a wood floor). It IS heavy! By the way, I DO like it, but the interior desk surface (closed) is only about 14X28.

Hi there ... no, I agree with what the others have said; it's meant to be assembled only this one way. I would also mention that the drawers are not very easy to reach (especially the bottom one), so just put things in there that you don't have to access very often. :) All in all, though, I like the desk, and think it's a good value for the money.

You probably don't want to do that. Its really unstable when its in 2 pieces. There are much better desks that are meant to be one wall pieces. Not a great buy. Very cheap material

its an Ikea desk, so theres a ton of assembly. Every piece you see has to be put together. If you're thinking of buying though, look on Ikea.com, way cheaper

Technically you could put the L on either side of the desk. But I would not recommend it if you are going to add the hutch. So far we have not had an issue with the hutch.

Yes, you can add it. You will need to take the top of the desk off to install it though.
