Great bang for the buck

My first studio desk ever, worth every cent of it.

It's...huge!

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!

The best layout I found but very cheap quality

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!

The perfect studio desk

This desk has brought serious justice to my home studio. it is sturdy, great colour, also made from high quality material. i dont have any complaints or anything negative to say about this desk. for anyone thinking to purchase this desk i wouldnt stall any longer. assembly is straight forward & stress free.

Exactly as expected

Compared to cheaper desks, this one feels a lot more polished and the rounded corners are a very pleasant touch to prevent you from hitting into sharp corners and also prevent you from damaging your synths.

I've had this desk for more then a year and it is still as strong as the first day. More then enough space for a couple of synths and desktop modules, my 2 pc's and my speakers.

Super easy to assemble and very sturdy!

Spacious Desk

Honestly, I thought it was going to be smaller but the space on this desk is so handy. You can put any analogue gear on the racks and be confident that it won't fall or be fragile. The wood is heavy, and it's an easy set up. overall I'd recommend this desk to anybody in a home studio or semi-professional setting.

Fantastic Desk Great Value

Great quality and fun to build. Took the weight of my 3 way Alesis monitors but could see it was a bit of a struggle (back on the stands sound better anyway). Package arrived exactly within the specified time range to the UK. Thanks to the team for all your efforts.

Excellent desk

This is a very sturdy desk, with a lot of working space available. Just note the following two things:

1. It is bigger than what one perceives from the images.

2. The keyboard tray sits low. Personally I would much prefer it would sit 5cm higher. It is in constant contact with my lap.

Great Studio Desk 👍

This desk had been sitting in my entrance hall since October 2020 waiting to go into my home studio.

But because of new flooring delays Covid and design rethink.

It’s now as of last week round my son’s studio at his mothers and I have to buy another one.

He loves it .

He’s 16 and built it himself a big gamer as well as music maker .

It’s a great desk that’s given him mor needed space.

He loves it’s all on wheels so can be moved about to get behind if needed.👍

Disrespectful

Terrible! desk arrived damaged and missing pieces. I reached out and no one responded. Never shopping here again, it was a waste of my time and money

Simply excellent

The desk arrives shipped to be assembled, assembly is quick and simple. The desk is solid, easy to move thanks to the wheels (two with brakes to lock it). The spaces are well thought out, both the racks and the cable management. I couldn't be more satisfied!

Très beau meuble de qualité et fonctionnel

J'ai mit 4 étoiles que pour une seule remarque, c'est le fait de la tendance à basculé vers l'arrière si le support des moniteurs sont trop chargé(respecter les notice du constructeur au niveau du poids). A part ça c'est top pour le budget franchement aucune hésitation. La qualité est là, il très grand beaucoup de place sur le plan du dessus, pour le tiroir du dessous pour le clavier, j'ai un AKAI MPK261 et il reste encore 5cm de chaque côté, petit bémol la qualité des charnières coulissante un peu light mais fait bien son job. Pour les low budget je recommande vivement ce Desk.

Perfect Middle Ground

A solid table for the money!

Absolutely no complaints. Even though the parts are made in Indonesia, the quality isn't all too bad. Definitely not High end, but didn't expect that type of quality for that affordable price.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a perfect middle ground studio desk!

Nice buy

Good materials, strong construction, plenty of space, nice appearance.

Its a pretty good product. Its balanced as long as you dont overload the ''ears''. Theres a 10kg limit/ side which is enough for 5inch monitors but not much above that, if you load the 19' racks, and the rackmounts are well spaced for all to fit. Well worth the price.

very solid and bigger than you think

Very nice desk

its a very nice desk. super solid and stable. quality is superb, finish is very nice. I have only one drawback with the desk, and it can easily get a bit back heavy if you have heavy monitors on the shelves. However changing the wheels with steady feet instead remedy this. it pivots easily when back heavy because of the wheels.

wow factor !

This desk was so incredibly easy to assemble on my own, it arrived perfectly packaged and its built like a tank! I will say that its a bulky desk and that measuring your space is very important. Mine fits very snug in my room but it covers all my bases. Overall a great product!

Amazing studio forniture

Incredible value for this price!

Only bad thing: improve the instruction manual, it's not clear at all and because of that I had to re-start the assembly process.
