Yep, that was the part I needed:
Now to take care of that pesky cable management issue. But first, a little practice!
We'll start with the back panel for the middle shelf on the lower part of the desk. Just a relatively thin piece of backing, should be easy enough.
The hole's a little rough, but I figured they all would be that way. This one won't have a grommet to put through it so I'll clean it up a bit with a matching... um... wood stain marker? Whatever they're called. Those pens you buy to rub over light scratches on furniture, that match the finish. I think I have a black one around here somewhere, if not maybe I can finally use up the rest of my Home Depot gift card on a new one. If they don't have THAT in stock, I'll give up on them entirely and just buy $12 worth of paper towels or cleaning rags or something.
But on to the desk itself. X marks the spot, if by 'X' you mean a big white blob of whatever that white Sharpie is made out of. A little messier than I expected, but it did the trick just fine.
One down, two to go:
Looks pretty clean underneath, too!
Once more, with feeling...
And the third time's the charm!
I CAN HAZ GROMMETS!
They fit a bit loose in the holes, but I'll try to add a little padding around them to make it more snug - maybe wrap some black electrical tape around the bottom part where it fits into the holes. But that can wait. Time to get that lower back panel nailed on, and start putting the hutch in place:
And then some more back panels and the lower shelf in the middle:
And finally, let's top it off to (almost) finish the job!
I still have to put the door on the upper left cubbyhole, and add the keyboard drawer. Anyway, that's where I stopped for the night as it was almost 9:30 by the time I got that far. Tomorrow I hope to finish up the desk, clean it all up and touch it up as needed, then clean up the room and move the desk back up against the wall where I expect it to stay.
I am SO FREAKING TIRED and I have so much to do before Saturday... and I went and complicated things by making a hair appointment on Friday after work, but if I don't do it this week it'll be the end of the month before I can get to it and that just won't do. I wouldn't have waited until now but my stylist was out of town all month until this week.
Of course I will probably run myself ragged getting the computer and all that set up by noon on Saturday in case the phone company guy shows up that early, and then he'll end up coming three or four hours later, because that's what always happens.
