My keyboard tray broke from leaning on it. It wouldn't have broken if they included two screws. But staples forgot.

Things you need to fix this stupid desk:
1. Glue (I chose Gorilla because its strong and it bonds metal to wood.)
2. Clamp (I didn't have a large enough clamp so i supported it from below.)
3. Stupid broken desk (But thats a given)

Assemble Clamp

Stack objects until they reach required hight.

Gluing Time

Apply small amount of glue. The glue expands as it dries.

Clamp It!!

Finishing Up

Remove and dissemble clamp. Then install the piece of wood that holds up. Finally test by putting the keyboard back and using.
