StudioRTA Creation Station 5-stars Reviews

Very nice

Very nice desk and nice quality. The desk has two levels, one for place your computer, keyboard, control surface and the other to place your reference monitors etc..I just found a little uncomfortable placing the monitor in the highest level but the rest is fine! Also, it's really well built.

Great!

This is a studio desk with built-in rack shelving.

I use this at my home studio. I needed something that would provide sufficien space for computer, keybord, speakers, multiple screen and would putting stuff underneath.

Moreover, as my guitar recording is done via a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp and a Peavey Classic Series 60/ 60 power amplifier, I needed rack shelving to fit those units in a convenient and utilitarian manner.

The Studio RTA Creation Station was the answer, especially at that price point. There is plenty on the main bottom work surface for a keyboad, a small laptop and the rack shelving is great and sturdy, with angled placement of the mounting brackets to make use of rack gear more practical. Angling the rack units allows for some space at the back for air to circulate through so they don't overheat.

The top surface is wide enough for screens and monitors.

On the back of the unit there is a bracket that runs across the whole length and is for neatly routing cables rather than having a messy situation with cables tangled at the back.

I also managed to fit a 2x12 cab in the middle of the bottom panel and a pc tower on the left while still leaving plenty of leg space

The construction is solid, the rack mounts can hold considerable weight, the wood seems of good quality and the instructions were clear and there were no parts missing.

Only downside is that it feels a bit short in terms of height if you considered to do typing work.

Overall a great budget solution

Still In Use

This is a well built sturdy workstation desk. Have been using it for last 6 years with no problems.

Wish i bought this years ago

2020 UPDATE

I can't believe it, 6 years I've had this!!! Can I get another one into the room, where's my measuring tape!!! Awesome.

==========================================================================

This is so good you see a space and wonder what you can buy to fit in!!

Yes it really is that good, and dead easy to put together. Right now I have a 47" television and laptop on the top shelf, a Korg workstation which begins with a K, a PDU, my audio interface, a monitor splitter all in the rack, a multitude of stuff under the desk including a mixer, a large plastic archive box of cables and a printer.

Seriously stable, you just wonder how you got on before.

Amazing value

This is a great value product, if you're looking for a workstation/desk for a small studio or home studio, look no further.

I am by no means DIY efficient, so it took me around an hour and a half of slowly building it to make sure I did it all properly, the instructions are concise and picture based but very clear and easy to follow in 4 steps. It instructs to not fully tighten all screws until the end, however this will be very difficult to do once you've flipped it over, so i advise to fully tighten the lower parts screws just beforehand.

Usage wise, the open space at the bottom is perfect for a PC tower, boxes of cables, and anything else you want to use it for, design wise less is more here.

The main shelf currently houses my 25 key MIDI keyboard to the side, keyboard, mouse, and 2i4 audio interface. There is a lot more space for extra things, I have had my laptop on this shelf when transferring data and it fits comfortably, so if you're planning on using a laptop/macbook with a second monitor on top then rest assured you'll have no issues.

The top shelf has ample space for 2 monitor speakers and a 23 inch monitor screen, with some room to spare.

Great Desk

This is a very good desk for the money, it is well constructed and easy to move as it's on castors. There is ample work surface area for most needs and room for several items of rack equipment, the only criticism is that there is no keyboard shelf.

For my needs OK

This is a small desk, for one desktop monitor and two monitor speakers. If we put two screens, then have to buy separately monitor speaker stands. For my needs is OK.

Fab bit of kit

I've owned this desk since 2007 (although it only seems like last year to be fair) and it's still an integral part of my home studios setup. There's plenty of space on the top shelf for my 24" monitor and yamaha HS7 monitors, whilst the main shelf holds my rack gear (although I don't have much of this now as I tend to do most stuff in the box).

The black bottom shelf holds my audio PC and boxes of cables/adapters and the whole lot is on castors meaning it's easily moved, a godsend when you want to re-arrange your space.

I'd previously looked at custom built desks, but I'm so glad I went with this option!

why not?

This is a superb piece of sturdy, well made, studio furniture and represents excellent value for money. Assembled very quickly and 6 months on has not got a scratch on it. The veneer laminate is very strong and resists damage really well. I look at Ikea and Ebay to get something that was close but there was nothing. Superb!!!

one sturdy studio desk!

Looks very stylish and professional in my control room. Great build and feels solid. Love that its on wheels, the back is very accessible for re-wiring and installing new equipment. If you run out of rack space, i bought the RTA producer cart to go along side it. It matches and looks aesthetically good.

StudioRTA Creation Station

Ordered this for my new home studio setup, had a few pieces of rack gear that I wanted to rack mount so this desk was ideal. Very easy to assemble and put it together in an hour!

Great Desk

This is a large desk ideal for using in your recording studio. I use this in my room as a gaming desk and as a work desk. The large surface space is great for making you feel like there is loads of room from where you sit to where the monitor is. Made very well you wont be disappointed with the quality of this product!

Very good and affordable

Very good quality and easy to mount. Much for the money!

Holes for attaching 19" was not lining up 100% but no problem to fix at all. Overall a really good buy

Centre Point Of A Studio

I bought this as the centre point to the studio and I am definitely impressed. Do not be put off by the cheap price at al.The quality is exceptional, good weight to it and definitely feels strong enough for the equipment.

The height of the main workspace and also the monitor shelving is just right.

As a suggestion I'd try building this in the opposite way to the manual (which suggests building the main desk bit upside down and turning it over... BE WARNED this is a heavy item and for myself I wasn't risking flipping the full desk over to be upright after seeing the delivery man struggle even removing it from his van!

Hardly Believable

The desk is easy to assemble and solid. It's been the hub of my studio for a year and a half and comfortably houses 4 rackmount processors the screen and monitors on the top tier and 3 Elektron units + mouse and keyboard on the main desk bit.

A Great Workstation For Any Studio!

I took delivery of my creation station last week and i wasted no time getting it put together. Opening the box everything seemed of excellent quality and very sturdy. putting it together took no more than 30 minuets and only required a Phillips screwdriver. The instructions where very clear and easy to understand with good pictures. and once i had put it together i started setting up my equipment on it, which looks great with the built in racks. and the cable tidy and tray and the back keeps everything nice and tidy, which i like :). the bottom work surface has ample space for most any application, i have 2 towers and a sub on mine ans it all fits and looks great. The main work surface also has ample space too, enough room for a master keyboard, interface and more! And i was surprised when i was able to fit my two 22" PC Monitors and 5 inch monitors on the top shelf. All in all an awesome bit of furniture at and amazing price!

Very very good!

very very good pack. undamaged unscratched! thank you!

great bit of kit

Had my eye on this for a while & looked at many alternatives to bring together my modern studio set up & to include my old rackmount synths but in the end this is just unbeatable for price & quality. My only gripe was that the base section came with a large scrape across the visible surface,

The price is stupidly low for the quality you get!

The desk was fairly straight forward to put together, i'd say allow up to 2 hours to assemble it. The instructions and tools provided did make it very straight forward.

The rack spaces placed in the middle of the desk make work-flow allot more ergonomic and practical. It allows you change setting on your equipment whilst still remaining in an ideal listening spot.

I would say keep in mind how big your screen is when purchasing this product. Anything bigger than a 32" screen you will need separate monitor stands.

The bottom part of the desk is great as it means my computer (mac pro 2012 edition) is raised above floor level lowering the risk of a drink on the floor getting to the computer.

The desk space is surprisingly large, meaning I am able to have a midi keyboard and a small mixer in front of me as well as a mouse and keyboard. AND STILL having enough space for other things.

You can't beat the price for this quality, design and build. If you're thinking of getting a desk suited to production, this is 100% the one to buy.

Great value!

For anyone looking for a decent, well priced quality studio workstation then this has to be the deal of the century!

It was delivered exactly on time (I'm based in the UK) so was specified 3-4 working days.

Very heavy unit so be sure when it's delivered you have an extra pair of hands especially if your studio is upstairs! :)

The quality of the unit is second to none, easy to assemble on your own and took me the best part of an hour and a half and it was done.

The work surface is large enough for a decent size 61 note synth/controller which leave just enough room for your Keyboard/mouse. But you could have a mixer there instead if desired.

The 19inch rack spaces are a very welcome edition that rounds this unit off very nicely. definitely a must buy!
