Erik figured out how to fix the desk:

It took several hours of time to painstakingly move and assemble the big pieces. I really appreciate his help. I'm really going to enjoy the desk. He also replaced my showerhead (Erik informed me that my role in all this was "paying for it!") and I'll enjoy that too.
