I waited for the package for about 5 days, and I was really worried that there would be no extra charges for shipping, since the desk weighs more than 30 kg when disassembled and is not accepted by DHL or UPS without additional fees. But the guys from Thomann did a great job — they split the desk into two separate packages, and both arrived at the same time. All the parts were there, the desk arrived without any breaks or scratches, although the packaging was damaged, everything inside was fine.
DO NOT EVEN THINK THAT IT WILL BE EASY TO CARRY THIS DESK UPSTAIRS ALONE! I carried it myself to the 3rd floor, and it was a real challenge!!! It’s very hard — the box is about 180×100 cm, which is huge.
The construction of the desk is good, but without a power screwdriver it’s not so easy to assemble. Save your hands — doing it with a regular screwdriver is tough, but if you’re desperate like me and don’t care, you’ll manage.
I didn’t really understand the point of the wheels under the desk, so I just screwed in 8 silicone feet about 2–3 mm thick (like pads, but fixed with screws), and I like it this way more. I also heard people complaining about the MIDI shelf being too low — well, I didn’t install it at all, because my MIDI keyboard is on a stand next to me, and I prefer it that way.
The racks on the left and right are simply amazing — 4U on each side, so my 4 units fit perfectly! There is a small gap at the bottom where you can run cables, but it doesn’t really bother me.
IN SHORT — THAT’S IT! This desk is perfect for the money. You won’t find a cheaper desk in a similar form factor with two rack units on each side. Definitely recommend it. Thank you, Thomann!!!!
