Acme Eleazar Wooden 3-Shelf Music Recording Studio Desk in Natural Oak

This desk is solidly built, a couple of things to know that the instructions aren't real clear or just to make it easier, make sure you don't confuse the front legs from the back, the holes on the back legs are where you mount the cord caddie. Mount the rack rails before you mount the top of the riser shelves, makes it easier to screw them in. The rack screws that come with the desk (and washers) are very long, be prepared to screw them in with a screw gun if handy.I think the desk is very well designed and sturdy built, should last a long time!

I looked a lot for a new desk for my home Recording Studio and I am SO happy I found this one! It is roomy and easy to assemble. The parts are well-constructed and the colors are really nice. I was able to fit my two studio monitors, a 32in Monitor Display, Laptop, Keyboard, Sub, and more! The 2 racks are good standard ones and overall this feels like a really good price for a really good unit. Also, love the wheels and having the option to easily move it around when needed.

This desk is excellent. Good build, affordable. The only issue is the sliding shelf sits a little low. But with ample storage, rolling wheels and monitor shelves, it’s worth it.

This desk is absolutely incredible, and unbeatable in this price range. The rack units are extremely convenient, the design of the back really helps with cable management, and the textured quality of the desk itself is a nice aesthetic. Still moving everything in, so I'm not done setting everything up, yet, but I've spent several hours with it over the last week and my only complaint is that I wish it had a little more leg space underneath. I'm only 6 foot and my knees are always touching the bottom and I tend to pull the key tray out when I back my chair up, but it's just a minor inconvenience. I could put it on risers but I do pull it out from the wall often when re-arranging my signal chains, so I do love the fact that it's on wheels. I assembled it by myself in less than an hour. Very easy. I highly recommend this desk to any producers looking for something for their home studio.

This shipped in two boxes, where the posts, wheels, and fasteners were in a separate box. The box with the bulk of the desk was well packaged, basically a double box with cushioning protecting the inner box, and more between each of the pieces in the inner box. It is heavy, so if you can get help to move it to the room it will reside in, please do so! The diagrams in the directions are all accurately drawn, so look over the directions carefully and take your time with assembly. I had no assistance with this, but had it mostly completed within two hours. Trying to accelerate this would probably result in more frustration, or even worse, broken parts (not that this could be easily broken). The surface is textured, so pencils can't roll far.The keyboard tray is wide enough for my casio lk43 to comfortably fit. The only problem I have is the lack of legroom. I'm 5'10.5" and my legs just fit under the keyboard tray.The wheels are distributed around enough to carry the weight of the desk and anything you would put on it. It was very useful to be able to move the desk around easily while completing assembly of the two rack /shelf sections, and for situating speakers and equipment onto the desk. There were no misaligned holes and everything went together smoothly. I replaced a folding table with this, which was just about as wide, but this has added depth, which will be needed for recording or practicing.

Ok, let's get this out of the way. The desk is awesome. There is plenty of room for nearly all my gear (except the 88-key digital piano, which is better off on its own stand in another part of the studio). It's sturdy, and the surface seems stain-resistant, which is perfect for messy musicians like myself.Now here's the thing. You may have read about how the leg space is limited with the keyboard tray. This is true. The height of the keyboard tray to the floor is 23". Not much at all. When I tried to use the desk, my knees kept hitting the tray. So, I took it off. Later on I got the idea to re-install the tray but this time being able to push it in instead of pull out. Problem solved! Now I have space for my knees when I need it, and I can also use the MIDI controller when I pull it out. It has enough of a lip when pulled out all the way for me to be able to adjust the faders and knobs in the back of the unit without any trouble.Also, make sure you have an electric screwdriver when putting this beast together. It will save you a lot of hassle.

Amazing desk!

I really like this desk. It's solid and well made and elegant looking in my studio.But there's a design flaw; with equipment in the racks and speakers in place on the platforms, the desk tends to be very rear heavy. The centre of balance is at the back of the desk and there is a real risk of the desk simply tipping back and damaging your speakers.I think there needs to be a set of legs supporting the weight beneath the speaker platform - so I cut some curtain rods to size, put rubber caps on the ends and placed them there and now the table use dead solid.I love this table but they haven't thought it through.
