SC
One of the best buys i have ever made
Sotiris Choutos 07.06.2017
I own this desk since June 2016. I am actually sitting at it right now writing this review and i still love the feeling

PROS
1. Great looks. Makes you feel (and look i guess) like you
know what you are doing
2. Not that hard to assemble and the parts seem solid
3. The cable management metal shelf helps a lot
4. There is actually enough height between the bottom
shelf and the main surface to put even a big size
computer tower
5. If you need it for home studio use like me, i don't think
you would ever need a lot -if any- more features/space
6. Wheels are great to have. Once you have placed all
your equipment on the desk, you can then move
it around freely. Plus you can clean the floor really
easily without having to move the desk!

CONS
1. It does feel a little unstable. It shakes if you push it or
an earthquake occurs. I never had any problems
though
2. One or two stubborn screws when assembling but all
went good
3. There is not enough room on the main surface to put
a medium-to-big midi keyboard, a computer keyboard
and a mouse all together for example. But you
could add an extra keyboard drawer below the main
surface i guess)
4. My computer tower is a big/tall one and it almost
touches the main surface from below. The problem is
that the start button is on top side of the tower and i
cannot push it without a tool since there is not enough
room for my hand
5. Top shelf is not wide enough if you want to stack two
screens plus speakers or one screen and multiple
speaker pairs.

The only reason i am not putting 5 stars is the cons i mentioned. But when i searched the market back then, this desk may have been the best value for money out there and you cannot really ask for more at this price. Overall i would definitely recommend it, especially for home studios!

PD
Fantastic desk for home studio project.
Paul Davies 07.09.2014
I purchased this studio desk as the core for a home studio project. I previous used a unit from a Swedish furniture shop (you know the one), but it was clear that all my synth racks were not protected and my equipment was all over the place. When this desk arrived it was very well packed and I am very glad to say came with instructions that were so easy to follow. Despite being MDF, the build quality is so high that you would think it is real wood. The design is clever providing many features that make storing equipment easy and safe. After construction which took about 30 minutes, I started putting equipment on it. The top shelf is big enough for 2 x 22inch wide screens and a pair of KRK rokit 5 monitors. The rack is solid and can take 8 1u racks easily. It also leaves a gap to either store books\discs or place a synth workstation. The space in front of the rack area is big enough for a large synth (Roland Fantom G6 or 7) but the 88 key version would struggle as the height of the synth would obstruct the lower racks. The bottom shelf is a life saver, allowing mass storage of everything. The unit comes on rubber wheels which can be locked in place (front ones). Another point is that there is a cable shelf at the back which has drilled holes in. This means you can gather cables together and zip tie them to it and make the back of the desk very tidy. So in summary:

Pros: Well made, lots of space, enough for 8x1U racks, looks very professional, can be moved around and locked in place, great cable tidy a back.

Cons: Wheels are rubber and split in half and had to be replaced (probably due to weight on desk). Rack area is fiddly to put racks in as you have to screw them in (no quick clips). 8 racks is pretty limited and you quickly fill them up.

I really like this product. Nice looking, sturdy and easy to assemble.
Sir Migs 28.12.2019
I'm using it with two 27 inch monitors (iMac 27 plus external 27" monitor) mounted on the top tier.
On the rack tier I mounted all the rack gear that I need to access all the time and need visual feedback (Audio interface, mic pre’s and patch bay). One really cool thing about it is that the designers left about 2 inches of empty space bellow the rack rails, that allowed me to fit the back of my Monitor Station wiring plus an headphone amp that are not rack mountable. On the bottom tier I was able to lay all my drives, power strips and other junk. On the main table surface I have the computer keyboard, a small midi controller, mouse pad and the Monitor station. The whole thing is extremely ergonomic. Nothing bad to say about it.

Should you buy it?
Voiceover guy 12.06.2020
Well designed and easy to assemble as one person. Instructions are very precise.

Pros: 2 x 4u racks although not much use these days for some. But if you don't need the racks, you can just not fit the bars and have extra large storage spaces instead.

Cons: Screws were all loose in the box as the packaging for them had opened, but 5 minutes sorting solved the issue. You could argue that a slide out keyboard tray would be better then you could store a music keyboard on the desk.

Summary: I use the desk every day. the monitor height is good. Space for two good sized speakers, large desk space, easy to access cabling. Would I recommeend? Yes. Good value for money.
