Acme Eleazar Wooden 4-Shelf Music Recording Studio Desk in Black Oak

Amazing table, there’s a lot of room on top and with that being said, it’s quite big in width, about 87”. But if you have room don’t hesitate. • Price very reasonable. • Extremely sturdy • Comes with wheels, even helps to move on carpet. • 12u of RackMount Space • Plenty Undertable Space

It is very impressive once you have it set up. The possibilites as a home studio desk are endless. My 49" computer monitor and two 9" audio monitors fit great on the raised shelves (see photo). Just got the desk set up today and the creative juices are already flowing now that I have all of my core equipment at my fingertips. Speaking of tips: 1) I installed mine on carpet, so installing the 3.5" tall wheels that come with it did not make sense since I wasn't planning to roll it anywhere and the wheels probably would have made permanent indents in the carpet over time. I simply made some 3.5" tall x 5" long blocks by cutting 14 5" pieces of 2x4s, and screwing 2 pieces together to create 7 total 3.5" tall blocks laid on their sides to place under the locations where the wheels are shown in the instructions. Took 15 minutes (had scrap 2x4s in the garage) and looks and works great. 2) I suggest buying rack blank plates and extra M5 x 19mm black screws if you don't have enough rack-mounted gear to fill the 12 available 1.75" rack locations. If you don't install rack-mounted equipment and/or blanks you end up with the 3 large openings under the shelves where things can fall through. The 1.75" blanks are a little expensive, but you can also buy single large blank plates (but the large plates don't provide as much future flexibility as the 1.75" blanks).

So I read the reviews before purchasing and a lot of people said the keyboard tray was too low, they banged their legs, etc etc. This is true. It's all true. But I knew beforehand so it wasn't like "Oh my, this is too low!" I knew it and I wish it was not that low and so on and blah blah blah. My ten year old basically put the thing together so I don't want to hear adults talk about difficulty. He's ten. Don't make me shame you. The two main pieces are heavy, like black hole so dense even light cannot escape heavy, so I helped him with lifting. But that was it. It's a big old mama. I had a very compact desk before, so sitting at this is like sitting at a window, gazing out at the vast meadowlands of rural South Dakota, only no worries about being gored or trampled by a bison, which is nice. You ever been up close with a bison? They're big. Anyway, the desk is big, too, and I have room for all the junk that shouldn't be on a recording desk in the first place. It seems sturdy enough. I'm not climbing up and standing on it or anything and if you are, well, you deserve whatever happens to you. But it holds my two computer monitors, my KRKs, some notebooks, a naked photo of my GF from high school, lots of guitar debris, martinis, etc. All in all, very pleased with this desk. Yeah, I know, the keyboard tray height, but I'm not going to join a bunch of whiners. I'm a manly man! I don't care if I bump my knees! I'm living on the edge!

So not bad to assemble. It's large and sturdy. Great quality. Can't knock it for being a well made table. If you're buying it to use with computers and instruments like me... it mostly stinks. My keyboard was too big (not their fault) but it sits too high on the desk to play very comfortably. Then the keyboard shelf is quite low. I have really good eyes! Placing computer screens on the shelves doesn't work very well at all... if that's what they were built for. You will struggle to see. So I took my computer off the shelf and set it on the desk, much closer to my eyes. Since it doesn't do anything great beyond being sturdy and holding things, it's annoying that it's so big. Maybe the past part is that it roles. That has saved me a number of times plugging and unplugging things... testing out how it will fit in my small office. I wish I had bought something better suited for writing music. Closer shelves and smaller.

If you are considering buying this desk you won’t be disappointed. It comes in two boxes one is really light and one is really heavy also it’s assembly was super simple not hard at all. The desk looks and feels great it’s very roomy as well a premium experience, especially at this price point. Nothing is better nothing.

The desk arrived in two boxes, one for the top and one for the bottom. Both were extremely heavy. After opening everything up, I found major defects: one of the main support pieces was completely snapped off. That piece holds the rack units for audio gear, so there was no way I was going to even attempt assembly. I contacted the manufacturer, but they said they couldn’t send replacement parts and told me to go through Amazon instead. Amazon offered a replacement, but I had to repackage the massive box and somehow get it back up my stairs after sliding it down originally. I ended up carrying the pieces upstairs one by one and reassembling the packaging outside in the cold. And now I have to make sure I am home whenever the UPS pickup arrives, because there's no way I can take this desk myself to a drop-off location. Overall, very inconvenient and disappointing. It’s a shame the company can’t replace the top and bottom desk pieces. I’m now waiting on the replacement and hoping it arrives intact, but I’d suggest avoiding this one unless you’re willing to gamble on quality and deal with a potential return nightmare.

This desk is fantastic. Had to get some help to bring it inside (seriously, the main box is enormous!), but once there, the assembly was surprisingly easy. In less than an hour, I had everything set up and ready to go. It's conveniently set on casters to move with ease, and the rack mounts are sturdy and set at great angles. Cable management is a bit on the sparse side, so you might have to get a little creative with your straps and ties, but it's not a big deal for anyone experienced with the spaghetti of a production desk. As a 6'4 person, I cannot use the included keyboard slide (it's way too low for anyone over 5'9), but there are plenty of affordable options for more customizable slides, and they desktop is plenty sturdy to bolt them right on! Absolutely chuffed with this desk, and highly recommend it for anyone needing a spacious production desk without spending $3k+ for a major brand!

Just got this desk. It's very heavy, sturdy, not difficult to put together. Problem: As other reviews indicated (which I didn't check in detail) the keyboard tray makes using a normal chair impossible if you're tall, or like to sit in normal office chairs. This morning I removed the wooden part of the chair, leaving the hanging rails, thinking maybe I could put headphones on them or something. Of course, when I swung my chair around, I hit it with my knee which got cut. Duh! I should've removed them entirely, can't believe I didn't see that coming! Anyway, I think the desk is fine. It's a shame about the keyboard tray. I won't use it.
