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 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!!!!

Bought this desk for my home studio as I needed something more suited towards music as my last desk wasn't the best.

Delivery to the UK was a bit of hit and miss, confusion from Thomann at first then it got sorted, was told I would be called 2 days before delivery to arrange a suitable time for delivery. This never happened, but delivery guy was very helpful.

The build process was simple enough, instructions could have been a little better, but an English copy along with the German instructions was a nice touch.

Quality of the wood is amazing, looked more brown on my screen but not I have it up in my studio, it is a very nice black and dark grey colour with a very nice texture.

My only issue with this desk it the pull out shelf, its very low and does stick out slightly not allowing you to get up close to the desk, this is something I will be modifying at a later date.

Overall for a £250 studio desk, its perfect ! Well worth the purchase and am very pleased with it.

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)
