Millenium SD-180 N StudioDesk

I bought the black version last October which my son now uses in his studio because of the growing amount of boxes he now has.
So had to buy myself one but in the wood and black finish.
I did have a hunt around to see if there were any better options out there since I bought the original but there wasn’t at this price point so rang Thomann to ask if I could have any discount for buying a second one and they gave me 5% off So I placed the order.
It’s still voted the best desk on YouTube 👍
Thomann are using new shippers to the UK for heavy goods and can’t thank the very helpful driver /delivery man enough 👍He brought the boxes up my path on a pallet truck cut the straps holding the both boxes to the pallet and then carried them into my home and stacked them neatly in my hallway.
Both boxes were clean and had just a couple of little scuff marks. I’m guessing this was because they were shipped on a new pallet and not loose in a lorry /vans during the journey.
So I’m very pleased with the new company Thomann are using to ship heavy goods and a big thank you goes out to the very helpful man delivery the goods👍

Great desk for the price, but it has a few drawbacks. I installed a 4U rackmount PC case, 2 KRK 7G4 studio monitors on the wings and a PC screen on a swivel monitor mount in the middle, which seems fairly standard equipment. The off-center weight immediately destroyed the wheels when I tried to move the desk to attach power cables. The desk was also extremely wobbly, so I gave up on the "mobile" aspect and shoved some blocks under the base which fixed these issues.

I wanted to put my legs under the desk which revealed another "flaw", the semicircle in the base is just barely big enough to allow a standard office chair to scoot close enough to rest my elbows on the desk. This means that my feet can not rest on the floor but are instead raised to the height of the desk base, and that I can't stash my office chair completely under the desk. I'm fairly small so it is not a big drawback, but worth to look out for if you're tall.

But in the bigger picture, a desk with these features would normally cost a couple hundred euros more, so I would still recommend it to anyone looking for an entry-level desk with rackmounts.

I use this table for my main work center; large screen, studio monitors, soundcard/DI, computer, KB/M and assorted small stuff. This is apparently too much weight, as most of the rubber wheels have collapsed unto themselves, and the table is now immovable. I didn't move it around anyway, but the point still stands.

There is a retractable shelf for the keyboard under the main desk, but it hangs much too low, and my legs are in the way of it, So I've removed it. I'm pretty averagely sized, so I won't be the only one with that problem.

Other than that the desk is sturdy enough, the extra shelves are prefect for studio monitors, and the back has a nice cable management section you can ziptie the cables to.

A good studio setup on a budget, with a few issues, sadly.

I don't normally leave reviews but I felt compelled to on this one.

Dropping money on a desk is a big investment, both financially and in terms of space. Your studio desk dictates both the ease of workflow and vibe in the studio, so it's not a decision I made lightly.

After considering several desks (including ones priced at several times that this one goes for), I went for the SD-180 because of the layout, available rackspace and, yes, price.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but my goodness this desk has exceeded all expectations. I've only had it for about two weeks, but it's sturdy, has a lovely finish and feel to the wood and is incredibly spacious (especially compared to my old, cheaper desk).

I finally have access to all my gear, and I love having my patchbay and 2bus EQ and comp within easy reach within the racks. Another user here said that the wheels gave out quite quickly. I can safely say that even after being loaded with gear, and even after pushing the desk back and forth to access jacks at the rear, they're still going strong. Given that my last desk wasn't on wheels, and given how much of a pain accessing the back was with it, this has been a revelation.

I went for the pale wood finish and this has been the icing on the cake. It's looks beautiful (and impressive, at least in my humble hybrid home studio) and as I've said earlier, the grain on the wood feels lovely.

Delighted with this purchase. Can 100% recommend.

So, I was bit hesitate about the site as it's all manually done when you do a order, usually on amazon , Argos etc soon as you order the order gets confirmed automatically.
I ordered the order twice as a mistake as well, emailed them and got sorted out at the end, the desk itself is very heavy, but very sturdy, I have no problems with the keyboard tray as I'm only 5 ft 7 my knee's barely touch it. I got big fat rokit 8's on the speaker stands even though it suggested they only can hold certain amount of weight but hasn't been issue, enough desk space to put anything on it so much better than my last desk, can even fit a samsung g9 and still have plenty of space. Am amazed with this desk

the delivery people phoned me what day to book it, went all smoothly struggled to get it inside of the house how heavy it was but other than that everything is perfect even after months of use

This desk is huge and versatile, with plenty of space to place a plethora of devices ranging from synths, mixers and controllers with enough room left over to eat your dinner as well.

Assembly is nice and simple but I soon realised the keyboard shelf sits quite low at 60cm high off the ground and ended up clashing with my knees. It's easy to add some timber spacers to lift it a little higher though.
In contrast, the main desktop is quite high too at 76cm off the ground. So if this bothers you, the castors can be removed and replaced with standard furniture feet from your local hardware store to lower the entire unit by about 6-8cm.

Only other thing to mention is the laminate surface has a rough-wood laminate effect. It looks and feels nice enough, but I've noticed that some devices tend to slide about quite easily due to low surface contact, and if you wish to sketch or jot down any notes then you'll need to rest your paper on something else first.

Overall, despite its measurement quirks it fits my needs perfectly, and I'm looking forward to making some fun music on it.
