Laser Cut Wooden Storage Basket Desk Organiser with Customisable Text

Step 1 — Attach the side panels to the back panel
Start by laying the pentagon-shaped back panel flat, with the handle-tab pointing outward. 
    •    Take the two patterned side panels and align their tabs with the matching slots on the left and right edges of the back panel. 
    •    Slide each side panel into place until the joints sit flush and the panels stand upright, forming a “U” shape. 
    •    Make sure the patterned faces are oriented the way you want them facing outward before pressing everything fully together. 

Step 2 — Attach the bottom panel
With the back + two patterned side panels already connected, place the assembly upright so the open bottom edge is facing you. 
    •    Take the rectangular bottom panel and line up its tabs with the matching slots along the lower edges of the back and side panels. 
    •    Press the bottom panel in evenly—start at one corner, then work across until every tab clicks fully into its slot. 
    •    Run a finger along all joints to confirm everything is fully seated and flush (no gaps), then gently square the shape so the sides sit straight. 

Step 3 — Attach the front panel
Take the front pentagon panel (the one with the custom text) and orient it so the text reads correctly from the outside and the small handle-tab is at the top. 
    •    Line up the front panel tabs with the open slots on the two side panels and the bottom panel. 
    •    Insert one side tab first, then gently “walk” the panel into place by aligning and pressing the remaining tabs until everything seats evenly. 
    •    Push along each joint until the edges sit flush and the whole body feels square and rigid (no wobble). 

Step 5 — Rotate + glue-lock the handle
Apply wood glue to every joint in this step (handle slides and flower pieces) to permanently secure the handle and prevent unwanted rotation. 
    •    Rotate the handle in the front and back slides until it sits in the correct position: straight and horizontal across the top of the basket. 
    •    Add a small amount of glue, then attach the two inside flower pieces (from the previous step) so they sit snug against the inside of each end panel. 
    •    Add a small amount of glue, then attach two more flower pieces on the outside of the end panels to “sandwich” the handle and lock its rotation in place. 
    •    Hold everything for a moment so the parts don’t shift, then double-check the handle is centered and level while the glue starts to set. 

It’s finished—thanks and enjoy your new basket.
