Thomann Creative Desk 137 Oak

I'd been shopping around for a desk that would have plenty of desktop space to work and take notes, while having my outboard gear in front of me and a keyboard tray for my main synth (currently UDO Super 6 which fits very well on the keyboard tray). Having all of my equipment in front of me saves a lot of floor space and cable mess. Love the adjustable height of the keyboard tray. This desk checks all the boxes and is also very affordable compared to the competition.

It did arrive with a few bumps and bruises, which I guess is to be expected due to the weight and having it shipped overseas.

Overall very happy with my purchase, definitely recommend this desk for producers that are looking to improve their workflow and have a durable desk for their studio.

I bought this desk to use for my home studio, having previously managed with a normal office type desk. What a difference!! The design of this desk is brilliant and has allowed me to have everything I need at my fingertips. It has reduced clutter and cabling and with the bundled keyboard drawer, made it much easier to record keyboard, guitar, bass and other live items. It has provided improved placement of my reference monitors and my monitor screen. Even though I don’t use rack processors, the spaces for them are excellent for placing other items like my audio interface, laptop other associated items. I’ve never been so organised!

I spent a long time looking at options before placing an order, and I am absolutely certain I have made the right decision.

Delivery:
The desk was delivered within a few days which, considering the distance it had to travel, was really impressive. The item was exceptionally well packaged and despite a few inevitable dings in the packaging, the contents were intact and in perfect condition. The items came on a pallet, but the courier was able to use a trolley to drop the items straight into my garage.

Construction:
The instructions which came with the desk were excellent and made it straightforward to put it together. The only thing I needed a hand with was placing the top on the desk.

The quality of the fixings was very high and everything fitted in place with minimal effort. Once completed, the desk was as solid as a rock!

The only small issue I had was fitting the keyboard draw. Initially, I struggled to get the draw to close fully, but think it just needed a stronger shove (I didn't want to break anything). It is now fitted and is working fine.

Overall, the experience from placing the order and getting the desk set up was really good. I cannot recommend the product highly enough.

Easy to assembly with great user manual. The thing for me was a desk who could manage my keyboard, yamaha yc73, as I often use sounds from the yc in my recordings, so I needed a desk with a tray solid and large enough. And when I take off the rubber feet under the yc73, it goes just into the tray. However, I think the tray gets too low when taking out the tray with the keyboard, so I took two 2"2" and build up under the desk, and it got the right height for me, I'm 182cm. Now I also can stand upright and use my mac on the desk, and having a chair with adjustable height makes my working positions with this desk really flexible and functionable. Very happy with the purchase.
