Millenium SD-180 N StudioDesk Reviews

Brilliant Service

I am completely satisfied with the delivery and quality of this product.

Very good

This desk is worth the money, 100%. The build quality is really nice, it is super easy to setup and it looks great. The keyboard track could've been a bit higher, but i think ill fix that with a few rings between the screws or something.

Another thing, the delivery was a bit longer than usual, and the packaging was a big mess when it came in, it gave me a small heart attack. Luckily none of the parts were damaged.

Very happy overall! Back to making music!

Nice desk

This desk is huge and versatile, with plenty of space to place a plethora of devices ranging from synths, mixers and controllers with enough room left over to eat your dinner as well.

Assembly is nice and simple but I soon realised the keyboard shelf sits quite low at 60cm high off the ground and ended up clashing with my knees. It's easy to add some timber spacers to lift it a little higher though.

In contrast, the main desktop is quite high too at 76cm off the ground. So if this bothers you, the castors can be removed and replaced with standard furniture feet from your local hardware store to lower the entire unit by about 6-8cm.

Only other thing to mention is the laminate surface has a rough-wood laminate effect. It looks and feels nice enough, but I've noticed that some devices tend to slide about quite easily due to low surface contact, and if you wish to sketch or jot down any notes then you'll need to rest your paper on something else first.

Overall, despite its measurement quirks it fits my needs perfectly, and I'm looking forward to making some fun music on it.

Fantastic!

Pros: Great desk, exactly as you'd expect. Good quality, durable and well thought out for a home producer.

Cons: The texture on the top isnt flat meaning writing on paper/drawing is a bit messy but thats a very minor issue really

Great budget desk, but poor accessories

I use this table for my main work center; large screen, studio monitors, soundcard/DI, computer, KB/M and assorted small stuff. This is apparently too much weight, as most of the rubber wheels have collapsed unto themselves, and the table is now immovable. I didn't move it around anyway, but the point still stands.

There is a retractable shelf for the keyboard under the main desk, but it hangs much too low, and my legs are in the way of it, So I've removed it. I'm pretty averagely sized, so I won't be the only one with that problem.

Other than that the desk is sturdy enough, the extra shelves are prefect for studio monitors, and the back has a nice cable management section you can ziptie the cables to.

A good studio setup on a budget, with a few issues, sadly.

Home studio desk

Amazing value for money. Very sturdy construction easy enough to assemble. Only slight bad point is the low height of the keyboard shelf, it makes the desk a little bit cramped. I put the base on wooden blocks to raise the height which helped but left the desktop feeling slightly high. I am 6ft 2 so this maybe more or less of an issue for each individual.

Overall would highly recommend this desk for a home studio.

A Godsend

For the price of this thing it's absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier with it, the problem I've had looking for production desks is finding ones big enough for cheap enough. Everything feels well made and sturdy it's comfortable to work at. Can't believe it's not advertised more and that I had to dig for it as much as I did.

Exceptional studio desk for the money

It's incredibly strong & the working area, rack space & sliding keyboard are well thought out.

The one thing I found that lets the Millenium down slightly is - if your outboard gear is heavy, like mine, the Studio Desk becomes a little back heavy & a) the caster wheels are not strong enough to cope & crumble under the weight & b) the desk can start to wobble a bit under certain functions.

The way I've coped with this is by simply removing the caster wheels.

Other than this the Millenium is fine & quite amazing for the money.

Perfect desk for home studio

Very easy to set-up, the included nuts and bolts with clear labels helped alot. The 19" rack rails have threaded holes so standard 19" screws will not fit. However, the desk came with mounting screws so this is not a problem.

A small edit. I could not fit four 1U high units in to the racks. The hole distance is not quite correct.
