What tools do I need to assemble a reception desk?

Assembly tool requirements vary by manufacturer, but OfficeFurniture2go.com recommends having the following on hand for every reception desk installation: power drill with Phillips and hex bit set, rubber mallet, 3-foot level, tape measure, furniture shims, and a full cam lock assembly tool. Some higher-end commercial configurations also require a torque wrench for structural connector hardware. We always recommend two trained assemblers — not just two people — for commercial reception installation to ensure correct sequencing and panel alignment.
