Millenium SD-180 B StudioDesk

I love this desk, I was looking for this layout exactly since I like the very spread apart speakers and the empty space in between them, where I put an additional screen below the main one.
The double 4 slots of racks available are great, I can organise my audio interface, preamps and a master power switch without occupying any extra space somewhere else.

The table seems sturdy, the MDF feels solid and for now I had no problems with it but the rest of the components scream cheapness all over the place.
The four thin legs might look ugly but give TONS of space underneath the desk, I have my computer there, a pedalboard and other stuff which in other tables wouldn't fit due to the walls.

On the other hand, those legs are the worst thing ever...they are hollow metal and they basically resonate. On the back legs there is a metal piece where you can route cables and stuff like that and it's to tight (because the measures are probably off) that resonates like a thunder when you bump the table.
I solved the issue by literally pouring sand up to 3/4 of each leg and dampening them and fixing the metal piece differently...now it's working nicely.

The screws that come with the desk are not enough, instead of 32 there are only 24...enough for 3 screws per rack piece.
To me it's unacceptable and simply screams low quality, I understand the desk is rather cheap compared to others but did they really need to save on 8 more screws?

The keyboard tray is ok, but in a ridiculously bad position, so much in the front that even when you put it back it's still out.
I don't know who planned that part, it feels like has been made by an underpaid frustrated employee that just slammed the screw holes positions in the most uncomfortable way possible.
Thankfully the fix is easy, make new holes and put new threads there.

I would have happily paid 200€ more for a more refined product overall, because as I said it has features that make my workflow much better than even a 2000€ ultramodern desk.

Probably I'll slowly upgrade it overtime, but it's already great as it is, highly reccomended!

Bought this desk for my home studio as I needed something more suited towards music as my last desk wasn't the best.

Delivery to the UK was a bit of hit and miss, confusion from Thomann at first then it got sorted, was told I would be called 2 days before delivery to arrange a suitable time for delivery. This never happened, but delivery guy was very helpful.

The build process was simple enough, instructions could have been a little better, but an English copy along with the German instructions was a nice touch.

Quality of the wood is amazing, looked more brown on my screen but not I have it up in my studio, it is a very nice black and dark grey colour with a very nice texture.

My only issue with this desk it the pull out shelf, its very low and does stick out slightly not allowing you to get up close to the desk, this is something I will be modifying at a later date.

Overall for a £250 studio desk, its perfect ! Well worth the purchase and am very pleased with it.

The best and possibly worst thing about this desk is it's size. It's enormous! A 150 cm version would have been perfect. But after a lot of research, it was the only desk I could find that didn't force the video monitor to have to be placed on a higher shelf. By being this big you can place the screen between the 2 smaller shelves, on the same level as the qwerty keyboard and mouse. That's a big deal for prolonged use - not having to look upward at the screen. The quality of materials for this price point is quite staggering really. It's incredibly well built. It weighs a ton. And it looks stunning in the room. I'm not using the supplied castors (wheels) because I don't want to mark the carpet and this makes the keyboard tray a little too low for my knees. But I'll come up with a solution. The pre-drilled holes for the 19 inch rack brackets didn't align and I needed to screw them in to new holes. But this was no big deal. Overall it's an incredibly well designed, well made and well priced product. I would definitely recommend it. But measure it's dimensions out in your room carefully first before you buy and don't be surprised when you see how much real estate this thing occupies when it's assembled - it's massive!

Unfortunately, the desk arrived damaged, so we refused delivery. Ordered from the UK. The delivery driver told us that it had been through 4 different couriers and, at some point on it's journey, corners and sides were smashed in. The delivery driver even said that he wouldn't accept that if it was delivered to him like that.

The biggest problem with delivery is that the pallet the desk is delivered on is a lot smaller than the size of the desk. So, the desk sides go way over the length of the pallet, which leaves it wide open to warping or damage.

I wouldn't recommend ordering unless you're living close to Thomann. Definitely do not order overseas.

Returns are also a pain. Unfortunately, Thomann says it takes, on average, 3 weeks for these to be returned, so I now have to wait for the return time and then for Thomann to actually process the return.

Very disappointed.

I love how HUGE this desk is. My only gripes are the cable management tray and the pullout keyboard tray thus the 4 rating on the features.

I oriented the two big metal poles the other way around so that I can flush the desk to the wall, the cable management tray is now facing towards me. I also bought myself on amazon additional cable management trays as the tray that this desk came with for me is a joke.

Lastly the pullout keyboard tray is hitting my thighs. I bought a frame tray alternative and screwed new holes below the desk. I understand that the reasoning for this is for big keyboard/synths. But for me I need to replace this with a higher one as I use this also as my work desk where I need my chair high enough so my eyes are aligned on top of my monitor.

Other than that...10/10! Buy the Studio desk rack tray with adjustable angle btw. :)

I live in the U.S and my package arrived in pristine condition. My first initial thoughts was that this desk was HEAVY!!! There’s no way you can haul this up a set of stairs alone, don’t even try it. The set up was easy enough and once it was fully built, it took up more space than I anticipated. However, once you start setting up your work station and monitors, you realize it’s perfectly sized to fit all your gear without looking cluttered. The wheels make it perfect to move around when you need to vacuum or clean around it, even on carpet. The finish is so beautiful and modern looking but be careful not to nick the corners and edges because they’re very sensitive and can start peeling off the wrapped finish. Even though it’s wrapped, it still has a very convincing texture to it which feels nice to the touch. All in all, for the price, this is hands down the best desk for a home studio. It looks and feels so professional and high quality. Anytime I have a family member over they compliment my desk before anything else. You’ll also feel waaay more focused and inspired when sitting in front of this desk.
