I love the price and the functions l, its what I always wanted at a fraction of the price. Rack mount slots sliding desk for 61 keyboard, its perfect. I think this is the perfect price. Tip: as the supply gets lower the price goes up, wait til they have more in stock - then the price will go down
All and all a great audio desk for smaller studios, but there were some problems (see attached photos). Several pieces were damaged with minor scratches and dents; however, for the price of this desk, they weren’t serious enough to initiate a return. The desk is very study and stable once assembled with room for 8 1U sized rack mounted effects. My main problem with the desk is the lack of legroom. The keyboard shelf is low to the ground and is not suitable for taller people. I am 6’4” and the keyboard drawer was just too low. I solved the problem by replacing the desks little wheels for some heftier 3” wheels I also bought on . The taller wheels made the height perfect. I would have also liked to have seen rack blanks included. The overall size of this desk is perfect for my studio, but in order to make the desk workable for me I had to spend extra $ for taller wheels and rack blanks.
Love it! So easy to put together. Its a little bigger than I had imagined, but thats ok. It is super awesome! Very sturdy too. Definitely worth the money.
Assembling: I would definitely recommend having a friend help you assemble the desk. Sure, you could do it by yourself, but it would take a very long time. One thing I’d like for the company to add to the instructions is which pool goes where. After my friend and I assembled all the pools and flipped the desk up to it’s proper possession, we realized that in order to assemble the next part, the 2 pools in the back have to have holes in them. Only 2 pools out of 4 had holes in them and the directions didn’t tell us that. Nor did they tell us where the 2 pools with the holes had to go. So, my friend and I had to flip it back over and rearrange the pools. Overall the assemble was very simple. It just took a while so again, have a friend help you.
Sturdiness: The Sturdiness is actually really good. No complaints.
Money Worth: This desk is HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! I look at this beautiful desk in my room sometimes and still have trouble believing that I got it for only $550. THATS INSANE!!! The desk is definitely worth the money I highly recommend buying it!
I am highly satisfied with this order. It also arrived like 4 days early for me which was awesome! Bravo to the company behind this desk! 10 out of 10!
The desk is well-designed. It has three surfaces: the top is for the monitor, the middle is for whatever, and the bottom is for the MIDI controller (and keyboard and mouse, in my case).
If you buy this desk, then you probably want to know about the racks. The racks have two side and it comes with 24 screws with washers. As you can see in the photos, I could install an audio interface and a 500 series 10-slot chassis on one side and thats it. No more space.
Sturdiness: it shakes horizontally a little bit. It has 4 wheels and only 2 wheels have wheel locks. So make sure you install those on the front legs.
Material: good material. The surfaces are made from wood with plastic cover (yellow in my case). The surfaces have texture so things will not slip around.
Value for money: I think $170 is kind of high for this desk. But this is already with discount. I see other sellers have it at $220 or something.
If you need a desk with racks for your simple music gears, then this desk is perfect for you. If you have a lot of gears, then this one will not have enough space.
I recently picked up this desk to upgrade my home recording setup. I didnt have much trouble with assembling it or with any of the parts, however I think the design of the desk itself can be a bit cumbersome. After getting it all setup, I realized the chair I had could not fit comfortably under the keyboard tray, and if it was low enough to, then the monitors on the riser tier would not too high up. I think if the keyboard tray was mounted more towards the back with a scooped middle like you see with other models, that may be fixed. I ended up removing the keyboard tray entirely for now, and the desk is a lot more comfortable without it. Another minor annoyance I noticed is that is is difficult to get to the screws on the very bottom of the panel. The desk isnt beveled at the back, so there is almost no way to unscrew the bottom row without some minor scratching the the top. The last thing to note is obvious in the photos, but the rack mount area is tilted to be leaning back. I had a full rack unit I tried to mount in it, but because of the depth, it would not work well as the rear of the unit was sticking out about 6 inches from the back of the desk.
Overall, I have been enjoying the desk and it still is way more convenient than what I was using, and significantly cheaper than other desks specifically fabricated for audio use.
May update if I have anything else I notice along the way, but overall I would recommend the desk so long as the annoyances above wouldnt be dealbreakers for you.
For the price, this desk is pretty amazing. Ive been keen on upgrading my old desk to something a little more music studio-esque, but Im not ready to dish out a pretty penny for the perfect custom desk until Im ready to actually build a legit studio. Till then, this gets the job done perfectly.
Someone else in the reviews summed it up perfectly, but Ive gone ahead and added photos to show that Ive got the same usages as well! It fits the Native Instruments S61 pretty much to a tee (to the point that Im mildly worried that the edges of the sliding shelf will end up scratching the sides of my keyboard, but hey, nothing wrong with usage scars in my book!). In other words, if your keyboard is more than 39.5, you might want to consider either putting it on the top of the desk, or getting a different desk altogether.
The rack space is pretty great with its 4Ux2 of space. Just know that if you dont have experience with racks, the instructions dont show you the right places to install the placeholder screws. Also, it only comes with enough screws to insert 6 1U equipments, so if youve got a full 8 pieces of 1U equipment, youll need to grab four extra screws. No biggie.
In my experience, the top shelf is pretty high. If youve got your chair at just the right height for your legs to fit under the keyboard shelf, youll still be breaking your neck looking up. At least if youre using a 40 television as your computer monitor like I am lol. I might end up investing in adjustable monitor mounts when I eventually upgrade my screen situation to dual 27 inchers, but till then, its not horrible as is. Just something to keep in mind.
That other reviewer that mentioned the shelf in the back is genius. It fits a USB hub perfectly, and even my external drive hanging on it by a thread gets it out of my way lol. Ill probably end up throwing more stuff on there for funsies down the line too.
Im too lazy to take all the measurements, but the other reviews do it justice. Probably not big enough for an 88 keyboard or a 34 ultrawide 27 monitor combo, but what can ya do. For the price of around 200 bucks, its got everything else you need.
The cup holder can fit some pretty large cups. I keep a 32 ouncer in there for water fillups, and it could even fit a larger cup. Just note that it will not fit a handled cup for your coffee or tea, but I mean theres so much desk space, you can have four cups of coffee just sitting around if you want. The headphone holder is large enough for my HD650s and could honestly probably fit a second pair. Im mildly worried that with enough weight, these little holders could get ripped out since theyre held in by two fairly small screws on the underside of the desk, but Ill cross that bridge when I get there.
I will say, it shakes around like hell if I bump into it. I hit it pretty hard with my chair scooting in once that my framed picture fell off the whole dang desk. Its a cheap frame that barely stands up on its own, but still. Keep that in mind. Im considering taking off the casters to see if that keeps er a little more steady, but Im also lazy, so Ill probably just deal with it. Not a game changer in the slightest.
Finally, mine wasnt packed all too great. The Styrofoam was torn to shreds in the box and I had to vacuum up real good after unboxing it. It also came with a few (large) scratches, but with the (kind of weirdly hypnotic) finish on the desk, its hardly noticeable, especially now that Ive got miscellaneous junk filling in all the blank space. The aluminum(?) back (the part with the holes that has the lip that can hold stuff I mentioned earlier) also came kind of bent up, but again, I dont notice it now that everythings been put together. Just another thing to keep in mind.
Overall, I love the thing, and Im not going to dock any stars for the minor flaws. The 4Ux2 rack space is a dream for my 18i20, miscellaneous DI/reamp/Cloudlifter shelf, and future dream upgrades, and unless youre a professional with a lot of outboard gear, itll prove to be more than enough room. The sizing is perfect (though cutting it down to a hair) for 61 key keyboards plus everything you can fit on the mid shelf. If youre a hobbyist producer and see this desk going for 200 or less, get it!
I was caught by surprise by its size. It is longer than expected, but perfect for working at home. It allows for multiple monitor set up. Just the right height. Assembly was easy. This desk is of great quality. It is solid and sturdy. The keyboard tray glides so nicely. I would highly recommend this desk.
