Great Desk For The Money

Value for money - You can't really beat this desk

On my unit some of the rails were a little miss-matched but not enough to cause a problem and not something that cant be easily fixed.

Assembly is handy enough.

Prompt delivery as always.

One thing to mention is the weight - THIS IS VERY HEAVY. I couldn't lift the box on my own and nor could my delivery driver so male sure you have a friend or relative handy.

Very useful - Plenty of space

Overall a good table and sturdy too - I'm not sure what load limits it has but it can hold record players, rack units, monitors, a Moog and more without even feeling under strain. Very simple to put together too (can be done alone if no one is able to help you), however a second person will be needed to transport the box to the room you wish to assemble it in.

My only issues with the table are as follows:

1. With a 27" iMac sitting on the top section, the screen sits a little too high for my personal preference, and the height of the office chair is limited by the clearance underneath the keyboard shelf below.

2. The rack mounting points are all tucked away under the edges of the table surface, so when sitting down or even standing, the top 2 or 3U of rack space isn't visible - I would have preferred the rack mounts to be flush with the edges of the table.

3. The CD holders seem outdated to me - I feel there could be something more interesting put here such as small drawers for keeping loose patch cables or something.

Need space? Look no further!

First impressions... this workstation is huge!

Delivered as a flat-pack, assembly took about 2 hours, this time also included racking up rackmount gear that I already had. It was straightforward and could easily be taken apart if I had to move it downstairs (although it is on locking castors - included, handy for moving to fiddle with plugins)

Okay, so it provides a huge wooden worktop/desk which is perfect for keyboards, extra displays etc. Ample rack space, of which I haven't filled, so bought addition rack mount shelving units to provide yet more storage.

The pull out computer keyboard shelf is a nice touch, as is the cable gutter at the back which means everything is tidy.

Pros: If you are after a big desk that provides lots of rackmount storage, look no further!

Cons: Size! It is huge!

Perfect!!

Just right for my needs. Perfect size. Good build quality. Very happy.

Overall very good, but some minor faults

Like pretty much everyone says, this is a very sturdy and easy to assemble desk with plenty of features. One minor annoyance is that the CD racks are a bit too tight to hold DVD cases and a bit too loose to hold CD cases. Doesn't bother me too much though, because I removed them and put monitors there instead.

Also the trim falls off fairly easily. This obviously doesn't affect the usability of the desk, but does look a little tatty.

Other than that, a great investment! :)

Good product

I have had this item for a number of months now.

It was incredibly easy to put together. I read before that other users had had alignment problems with the rack strips. But this was not the case with me. I bought several rack draws and I had no problem attaching them to the producer station.

I have ample room for all my needs and it is standing the test of time!

Pro's- easy to put together. Very strong, ample room,

versatile.

Con's- be prepared for the delivery it's extremely heavy but well packed. You will not lift it on your own!

With all your monitors on the top shelf and you sat at the slide out key board, over a period of work you find that

your neck does ache a bit, as you need to look up high all the time at your screen.

Superb home studio desk

I researched extremely thoroughly before spending what I consider to be a lot of money and I opted for this product from a list of many. However other products on the list were all more expensive and often not as suitable.

Construction took only a couple of hours in a cramped space that is my home studio. Assembly was easy if you're familiar with flat packed goods or basic home DIY. Once assembled a little tweeking had it tight and solid (before it wobbled a bit but just tighten the main bolts from the legs up into the underside of the main work surface and you're grand).

I have room on the top shelf for a 32" monitor, 2X Adam A5Xs and my Macbook Pro 15" open to work as a 2nd monitor. The main surface area is plenty big enough for my 61 key Novation SL mkii, lacie hard drive and turntable with my computer keyboard and mouse on the pull-out drawer under. My soundcard sits on the upper pull-out drawer. I purchased 5 Thon Rack Adapter 1U 25 shelves which are useful for various books, CDs, Microphones and bits and bobs (i don't have any hardware unfortunately) and my vinyl sits under these shelves.

To summarize, it is a compact serious desk that, at this price, is unrivaled. I had no issues with assembly and probably would have paid more, now that I have first hand experience of the quality.

Sturdy, large and reasonably priced

I use this station in my home studio, and while it does not seem to occupy too much space, the working surface is just so large. The locations of the rack mounting areas are very ergonomic.

The cd stands are not very useful in my case, so it would be nice to be able to use the space occupied by them differently.

The cord organiser and the wheels make it easy to keep things neat, while being able to quickly change the set up.

Great desk

I bought this desk in 2008 (seven years ago). It is robust and sturdy and looks exactly the same as when I got it. There are no scratches to the surfaces or deterioration of edges. The built-in rack units are good with space I think for around fourteen standard rack-mounted units, the keyboard drawer is sturdy. The design is also good with a display and speaker shelf. I've recorded many projects at the desk and found it to be spacious and comfortable. It is big however and needs a reasonable amount of space in the room. The castor wheels are smooth and useful making it very easy to transport. Moving from room to room requires dismantling of the unit or double doors. The built-in CD racks on either side can be just left unused and look like a design feature (I don't use CD's anymore). The assembly was simple and it is of a much higher quality than any other self-assembly furniture I have put together. I would have liked a couple of built-in drawers as these are reasonably expensive to buy in the rack-mounted version. It's a great desk.

Music Studio

Enough Room in the top Rack for a Sonic Maximizer, Bass Preamp, Instrument Tuner & Alesis Power Amp

Desk Metal Supports Are Laid Out Perfectly For Getting In & Out For Plugging In & Routing

Slide Out Tray On The Left Supports Room For A Mackie Big Knob & More.. Thought I would rather have another rackmount space instead but now im glad I have the slide out tray.

Deep Enough to Put My PC In the Middle Of the Lower Level & Still Rest My Feet

I couldn't have designed it better

Plenty of support on the Upper Level for Monitors

I only Wished they still offered this in Cherry Instead of The Maple

Built like a tank!

I had been eyeing up this desk for sometime, and I am so glad I bought it! Upon delivery it took me and my partner some time to get it up and around the corner staircase, but it was well worth it! Building the desk was very easy, philips head screws and allen bolts hold it together very well. The wood is heavy and feels much better quality than any other flat pack desk I've ever put together. Having all of the rack space is essential for my home studio and the large main desk area is big enough to fit my Digi 003, Mackie Big Knob and MIDI Keyboard also, with room to spare for coffee and biscuits!

Solid Workstation

Have had the desk for 4 years and has moved between several studios/houses in the process. Great features and workspace with plenty of rack space. Only criticism is that after 3 times of being dismantled/reassembled with the moves, the threads are starting to wear and not sure if it will survive another move.

Very good quality. Easy to build. Really pleased.

Great value studio desk

This desk is made from good quality components and is easily put together if you follow the instructions. Two of us had it assembled in less than half an hour. It looks great when built and is very solid. The metal parts are smoothly finished with no rough edges to induce injury. There is more than enough space for rack gear unless you are a little crazy for rack gear! You can keep your cables reasonably tidy. I would have liked the top shelf to be wider to accomodate twin lcd monitors and nearfields and still see through the studio window but it is what it is and I am happy to sit at it day after day with everything within easy reach. There are cheaper units outh there but not sure if they are near the quality of this and you could spend thousands on the top line ones but I saved my cash and bought other equipment. Overall very impressed and I can recommend if you are looking for a value for money studio station. Delivery was quick and hassle free.

Desk for life!

I bought mine in 2006, it's been through 3 house moves and is still going strong. Built like a tank with absolutely oodles of rack space and 2 handy pull out shelves. The metal rear has hundreds of holes drilled into it - very handy for mounting things with cable ties such as power supplies, plugboards, you name it.

There are 2 improvements that could be made. The small metal towers on the left and right for holding optical media are all but useless these days. If you remove them however, there's a protruding bump where the threaded insert to accept an m4 bolt sits, meaning you can't put anything flat there without it wobbling.

Otherwise, I can't recommend it enough. I adore mine, and people are always asking where I got it from.

Excellent quality , good value

I'm using this workstation for a home music project. I had read some of the product reviews and was a bit worried about the quality of the item notable the strength of the wheels and the lineup of the holes for the rackmount screws.

I need not have worried. It arrived EXTREMELY well packed ( weighs a ton ! ) and appears to be excellent quality and a good finish. All the necessary sets of screws / bolts were individually packed and numbered. The instructions were very clear and total assembly took about 40 minutes.

I have loaded some of the equipment into the racks and (so far) there appears to be no problem moving the unit on my carpeted floor. It's also quite east to access the inputs on the back of the equipment once installed in the racks.

I researched other suppliers before buying and many were at least twice the price!

I would certainly recommend this product.

Excellent

Great product, well packaged, good delivery, easy to assemble and very sturdy

Value for money.

This desk is great. I did how ever end up taking the top shelf part off and using it as storage elsewhere in the studio. But for the money i paid, i really can't complain. The size is right for everything I use it for. The table top (without shelf) is large enough for me to do guitar/bass setups on comfortably before sessions. Theres enough space to have 2 27" screens on the table top also along with monitors.

My only wish is that in future revisions of the desk, that the metal sides and back are dampened with something so that they don't resonate when listening to music at loud volumes.

Apart from that, smashing piece of desk.

Best home studio desk out there!

I have been using this desk for more than a year now and I couldn't be happier! I am mainly a keyboard player and this desk is full of rack mount synths and effects and I still have space left. I could easily rest my Korg Triton Extreme 88 on top of the main shelf, 2 sets of studio monitors, a 27' LG monitor, a huge Armor Jr. PC tower case many more. The total amount of weight on that desk so far might be more than 100 Kg and I can still move it around with no problems what so ever. It has never given me the impression that it is not top quality material or of very solid construction. The only downside that someone might find is it's size but this is the reason I got it in the first place. Definitely recommended for anyone that wants to invest in a proper home studio desk.
