Millenium SD-180 B StudioDesk

I love this desk, I was looking for this layout exactly since I like the very spread apart speakers and the empty space in between them, where I put an additional screen below the main one.
The double 4 slots of racks available are great, I can organise my audio interface, preamps and a master power switch without occupying any extra space somewhere else.

The table seems sturdy, the MDF feels solid and for now I had no problems with it but the rest of the components scream cheapness all over the place.
The four thin legs might look ugly but give TONS of space underneath the desk, I have my computer there, a pedalboard and other stuff which in other tables wouldn't fit due to the walls.

On the other hand, those legs are the worst thing ever...they are hollow metal and they basically resonate. On the back legs there is a metal piece where you can route cables and stuff like that and it's to tight (because the measures are probably off) that resonates like a thunder when you bump the table.
I solved the issue by literally pouring sand up to 3/4 of each leg and dampening them and fixing the metal piece differently...now it's working nicely.

The screws that come with the desk are not enough, instead of 32 there are only 24...enough for 3 screws per rack piece.
To me it's unacceptable and simply screams low quality, I understand the desk is rather cheap compared to others but did they really need to save on 8 more screws?

The keyboard tray is ok, but in a ridiculously bad position, so much in the front that even when you put it back it's still out.
I don't know who planned that part, it feels like has been made by an underpaid frustrated employee that just slammed the screw holes positions in the most uncomfortable way possible.
Thankfully the fix is easy, make new holes and put new threads there.

I would have happily paid 200€ more for a more refined product overall, because as I said it has features that make my workflow much better than even a 2000€ ultramodern desk.

Probably I'll slowly upgrade it overtime, but it's already great as it is, highly reccomended!

I've bought this desk quite a while ago, but I wanted to wait with a review before putting it to good use.

All in all I find this a really good and sturdy desk - plenty of room for a setup with two laptops and three screens, and I'm using two Yamaha HS5 monitors.

Assembly was quite easy, but I do recommend doing this with two people, as some parts are pretty heavy. I did assemble it solo one time, it's not impossible, but easier with someone to help you.

Throughout the years, I moved twice, and disassembling and reassembling is no problem; the desk still stands as firm and sturdy as the first time I assembled it, unlike most IKEA-furniture you can basically only assemble once before noticing a drop in sturdiness.

Now, my biggest peeve is the tray for the keyboard or midi-controller. I'm 185cm tall, and I notice I can't really sit comfortably at the desk when the tray is folded in - it's hanging too low. honestly, I don't think my height has anything to do with it: ideally I wanted to sit just a tad higher so that my arms would be in a better, more ergonomical, resting position on the desk, but currently I have my desk chair at the lowest setting in order to fit my legs underneath the desk (and the tray is still too low for me now).

The space between the tray and the desk is about 13cms (give or take), but if you're only putting a (midi)keyboard there, you would only need about 5-6cms, so I might try and find/make some brackets in order to hang the tray a little bit closer to the desk. Another solution is to remove the tray altogether, and find an alternative spot to place my midi.

I've accepted this flaw now, but I have to tell ya: it's really annoying and I don't understand what they were thinking with this design to be honest.

That being said, in summary: the desk is fairly cheap, but the quality outweighs the price. If I would have to buy a replacement, I would probably buy this desk again (unless I could find something else where the tray is better positioned)

The best and possibly worst thing about this desk is it's size. It's enormous! A 150 cm version would have been perfect. But after a lot of research, it was the only desk I could find that didn't force the video monitor to have to be placed on a higher shelf. By being this big you can place the screen between the 2 smaller shelves, on the same level as the qwerty keyboard and mouse. That's a big deal for prolonged use - not having to look upward at the screen. The quality of materials for this price point is quite staggering really. It's incredibly well built. It weighs a ton. And it looks stunning in the room. I'm not using the supplied castors (wheels) because I don't want to mark the carpet and this makes the keyboard tray a little too low for my knees. But I'll come up with a solution. The pre-drilled holes for the 19 inch rack brackets didn't align and I needed to screw them in to new holes. But this was no big deal. Overall it's an incredibly well designed, well made and well priced product. I would definitely recommend it. But measure it's dimensions out in your room carefully first before you buy and don't be surprised when you see how much real estate this thing occupies when it's assembled - it's massive!

This desk is really good value.
The quality of the materials and fittings is good. The design is good, you can get a lot of the rack kit in the slots. Speaker position is good. I would recommend it, especially at this price. Looks really good too.

The only drawback is that the keyboard shelf does not leave much room for your legs underneath. If you have long legs you may need to raise the whole desk a bit. But it's ok for most people.

The packaging could be improved to protect the desk in transit. It's very heavy and maybe the courier had fun just throwing the box out of vehicles. But the first desk arrived smashed to bits. Thomann replaced it ok.

The quality of this table is amazing! Very well manufactured and do easy to assemble!

The only drawbacks are the protruding keyboard tray which is not able to be moved back as the rivets are pre-embedded in the counter top, a good 4cm of empty space under rack mount shelves leaving a gap for stuff to fall through and also leaving cabling exposed and the rack strips are not perfectly aligned which makes it almost impossible to mount 4x 1RU equipment. Also the provided rack screws are of very poor quality and an odd number of screws were provided. 13 if I recall correctly.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with the purchase but I would have liked a little more attention to detail.

The space on this counter top is amazing! You'll have no problem fitting your desktop equipment on this desk! Though small apartment spaces beware, it's hard to fully understand just how large it is from images and blueprints.

J'ai mit 4 étoiles que pour une seule remarque, c'est le fait de la tendance à basculé vers l'arrière si le support des moniteurs sont trop chargé(respecter les notice du constructeur au niveau du poids). A part ça c'est top pour le budget franchement aucune hésitation. La qualité est là, il très grand beaucoup de place sur le plan du dessus, pour le tiroir du dessous pour le clavier, j'ai un AKAI MPK261 et il reste encore 5cm de chaque côté, petit bémol la qualité des charnières coulissante un peu light mais fait bien son job. Pour les low budget je recommande vivement ce Desk.
