Now, carefully attach our risers to the base shelf, ensuring a rock-solid foundation. (Shows attaching with glue and screws). Next, the monitor shelf goes on top. Secure it well! (Demonstrates). Finally, a little sanding and your preferred finish will make it look professional and last for years. Don't forget non-slip pads if your desk slides around!"
