Millenium SD-120 C StudioDesk

The desk is sturdy and solidly built. We stand two audio monitors on the top shelf with isolation pads and no vibration is felt even at high volumes.

The lower table slides in and out easily and is perfect for our midi keyboard.
We needed a desk for home use in a limited space.

There is plenty of desk space for various digital to analogue devices and importantly to us, the leaning design gives us easy access to the power sockets behind the desk.

The only criticism is not with Thomann but to the couriers, UPS. The packaging was "banged up" on delivery and the internal polystyrene packaging was disintegrated and spilling out. The courier also just left the box downstairs and fled the scene before I came down to collect it. Upon opening the box, I noticed that the left support leg had a large dent in it and one of the lower table runner stops was broken, obviously damaged in transit; UPS delayed the delivery by one day due to "Emergency Conditions or Bad Weather" this report came from Feltham centre which is only 5 miles away from the delivery address, I can attest that bad weather wasn't the issue.

Assembly instructions are easy to follow and I had the table assembled and in place within 60 minutes.

My wife, "the music producer" loves it and it has enhanced her productivity exponentially; no more complaints about wobbly tables and stuff falling off the edge due to insufficient desk space.

I'm just waiting for her to produce that "killer track" that will enable me to retire an possibly buy an island in the Caribbean.

UK customers, for your information, this unit arrives on a palette delivery and took 8 days in my case from date of despatch.

First thing I noticed- the panels and internal packaging were a little wet when unboxing mine! The outer box was dry...no idea what's going on there, but a quick wipedown and all was well...perhaps someone was packaging it in the rain, or maybe the fire sprinklers came on in the factory...?!

Tools - Hex key is included, you just need a screwdriver for some parts, that's it.

Height adjustable - this is a nice touch and should make it suitable for almost anyone. If you also have an office chair that is adjustable, even better, you should be able to find a setting somewhere in between them that works for you.

colour - mine wasn't so much cherry as a rich golden amber, which is actually quite lovely and looks much more expensive than it is, so that was a bonus in my book, but if you're fussy about your wood colours or want to match other cherry furniture, you might need to take that into consideration.

The light weight of the wood panels is really the only thing that gives away its budget status but once assembled, you can't tell anyway and the whole unit is absolutely rock solid, as strong as my previous Omnirax (which was worth about £800 back in 2008)

The assembly instructions are nice and clear, however the pictures flip in some sections between front and rear view. This caught me out and I put in the rack walls upside down initially! So look out for this, otherwise all perfectly well presented and neat

The 19" racks use the smaller screws that desks like this often use, rather than the larger type that standard 19" racks use, but hey they give you some in the box to get started (with washers!) and if you need more, you can take one of them to your local hardware store to match up more the same, so it's really not a problem.

Slidey shelf - Solid, nice smooth action and doesn't rattle from side to side like my old desk.

Perforated shelf - that perforated panel you see under the sliding shelf is actually a shelf where your external power supplies can sit, so they're not hanging in mid-air... such a thoughtful feature!

Another handy feature is the two headphone hooks on the sides, someone is really thinking about how a desk like this is used in the real world...how many times do you see headphones lying around with trailing wires looking messy on a desk like this, because there's nowhere else to put them?!

Conclusion : if the desk fits your criteria but you're suspicious of the price, don't be! Honestly I felt the same way, but decided to try it anyway based on the good reviews (plus it's not too much money if things went horribly wrong) but I'm very glad I went for it, it's brilliant.
Absolutely delighted with it and a total bargain

I'm so pleased i found this desk from Thomann! First of all, for the price i paid £150 - its an absolute no brainer for the quality and features this desk has!
Its well designed for use in studio set up, but could easily be used for gaming or video editing set ups.
The quality of the material is good and the desk is very sturdy. What's more it is packed with so many useful features; space for monitor and speakers on the top shelf, usable rack space - i can fit 5 modules in one of the spaces! Cable management system on the back and two side hooks for wires / headphones. The instructions were idiot proof, especially for someone as inpatient as me :) All in all, i really cannot recommend this desk enough - get it now, you'll not regret it!
Thanks to the Thomann team for the super fast delivery and good customer service!

Don’t buy this. Believe me, because I’ve bought it twice.
This is nothing like the Zaor quality. All the edges are rough and there’s no attention to detail. The plastic coated MDF is weak and will damage at slightest contact. The thin rack screws are single use only, that’s how weak they are. The 6 unit rack has room for 5.5 units in stead of six. The drawer is so low that it hits your legs, and I'm not that tall. The headphones holders are too low and your headphones will be resting on the desktop in stead.

And all of that only if you are lucky enough to receive it undamaged. Yes, because it is packed so poorly that when I received the first desk it was damaged on multiple sides with dents, scratches and broken bits. There were chunks and bits of polystyrene foam all over the place. Thomann and UPS blamed each other and after a month and a half of going round in circles trying to resolve this Thomann sent me a new one, which I did greatly appreciate. However, the new one came damaged as well. Can’t really blame UPS with such poor design and packing of this product.

The only good thing you can say about this product is that it’s relatively cheap. And so cheap is what you get.

This desk suited my needs perfectly for setting up a secondary mixing station in a different room from where i usually work. I was able to put it together on my own in about 60 - 90 minutes and it feels completely rock solid. The racks and sliding keyboard drawer do what they need to and do it well.

Little metal shelf on the back end is helpful for keeping power and speaker cables tidy and out of the way and headphone hangers on each end are handy for headphones, patch cables etc and other things you need within reach.

There is a slight disparity between the level speakers sit at when on the top shelf and the height you need to adjust your chair to, to get your legs in under the desk, but buying freestanding speaker stands for behind the desk would solve this problem easily, if you need to always be in the "sweet spot" for critical listening and long mixing sessions. Try and find a better studio all in one desk at this price point. You probably won't.

I needed a small desk for my home studio (15 square metres) and I'm quite positively impressed. It's holding a couple HS7's, a screen and a total of 6 rack modules and it stands perfectly, very solid. No wobbling, no vibrations.
Another positive side: I think the pictures do not really provide the right perception of the dimensions, countertop and keyboard shelf are really spacious.
One downside I could remark is that the keyboard shelf is positioned a bit too low compared to the top shelf, so you'll have to work things out a bit and find the right height for your ears and monitors.
Recommended for small studios.

I bought this StudioDesk to upgrade an existing ordinary desk I was using in my home music studio.

Pros :
Great looking desk which is very sturdy when constructed, 5* for quality
The sliding lower desk easily acommodates my 49 Key Novation Midi Keyboard.
The underdesk metal frame at the back helps keep cabling tidy and keep it above floor level.
The build in 19" racking is great , I have never had this before and have fitted a couple of 19" shelves to keep my audio interface and monitor mixer at the top of the rack, giving more room on my desk for keyboard and mouse and a small submixer.

Cons
To be honest I didnt find any :-)

Summary , very good quality and usability , but with a price that represents amazing value for money.

Well done Thomann !

When i started my homestudio a few years ago, i used an ordinary officetable for my computerkeyboard, Push 2, loudspeakers and a few midi-controllers. I dont have a big studio at all, but this fine desk meet my demands quite well, and besides that i like the look and feel of the wood. Its cherryish. The table comes with an assembly manual. I was a little surprised how easy the table was to build. All items for the table are named with a number or letter, aud due to the easy manual, i managed to get the table ready for use in less than 30 minutes. The table comes with to rooms for rackmounting, one plate for your compouterkeyboard and mouse and one plate for other items like PUSH2 or midi-controllers. The table fits the demands for any smaller homestudio.
