I will preface this review by simply stating that this is a great desk! Without a doubt the best one I could find in this price range.
It has now been used daily for a couple of months, and I’m confident it will hold up for a long while.

There’s a couple of annoyances (which I go on about further down) with the desk, but the pros greatly outweigh the cons. And it looks good too!

I needed a new desk for my home studio and decided on this one because of three things:
I needed a minimum of 4 rack spaces.
I have limited space so I needed something with a smaller footprint that still could accommodate my needs.
I wanted a raised platform for computer monitors.
This one ticked all the boxes and then some.

Let’s go over the pros first:
* The desk is pretty sturdy. It’s not wobbly and it feels like it could take some abuse without falling apart. We’ll see how it holds up in a few years, but for now I’m confident it’ll stay in one piece.
* It’s pretty small in size and will fit in even the tiniest rooms. But with the top shelf, the racks, and a good sized keyboard tray you can fit a lot of stuff on it.
* You can easily fit two medium screens on the top shelf if you have your speakers on stands.
* Since the racks are angled and not flush with the shelf you can place equipment that runs hot on top without worrying about restricting airflow. It’s also more comfortable to reach.
* The keyboard tray can be adjusted for three different heights.

Cons:
* As other reviewers have mentioned, the edges of the desk are uncomfortably sharp. It’s not a dealbreaker, but definitely something I’ll subtract some points for. I ended up putting two layers of gaffers tape over the front edge to make resting my arms on the desk less annoying. * There’s not a whole lot of legroom under the desk. I’m guessing it’s fine for most people, but I’m 190cm and can barely fit my knees under it. I sit just fine as it is, but I’d sit even better if the desk was just an inch or two higher.
* Assembly instructions was a bit unclear. Building the desk wasn’t hugely difficult, but some things could be better explained. As a Scandinavian I’m well versed in hacking together terrible Ikea-furniture, but I predict someone with little to no experience in DIY-furniture assembly will be at least slightly annoyed at times.
* Keyboard tray will not fit an 88-key controller. I don’t play piano, so I don’t care, but YMMV.

So to summarize:
Looks great!
Lots of space for stuff without taking up a whole lot of floorspace.
Some minor annoyances in regard to how it’s made, but the overall build quality is great and it feels very solid.

A great introduction for a professional workspace
Gregzor 20.12.2022
For a long time I never had a real professional workspace, I invested into my gear, but never what it stood on.
When I received the ComboDesk everything was very well packaged and delivered, as usual, and it wasn't that difficult for me to set up on my own.
(I did however make a little mistake with the retractable keyboard shelf where the screw wasn't drilled in deep enough and so it would get stuck when expanding outwards and I couldn't fix it any more once the keyboard tray was locked in place, I did find a work around however, that being having it always a little outwards passed that screw, it's a minor hiccup and mostly my own fault.)

I felt for any sharp edges like I read on previous reviews but it seemed they addressed this issue and everything was smooth. The table itself is stable, it feels good and the finishing is nice. The keyboard tray below the desk was a must for me, and it houses a Prophet Rev2 in my studio, it's strong and stable.

My desk houses a keyboard in front of me with a Softtube Console 1 + Fader housed in a wooden frame (it barely fits but it works) behind it, my computer on top and my interface on the right with my mouse. I had space for Ableton Push2 on the left but decided to put that on a extra little table next to me on the right, with loads of space free on the left side of my keyboard for notes and a clipboard with paper for when I'm working on my projects or for any future hardware.

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and it elevated my home studio to a professional environment which I'm proud to work in, great buy. 4/5!

Good for the price
James Williamson 12.05.2020
This desk works perfectly for me but there are definitely some things to be aware of that are not that evident from the pictures. I read a review from a previous buyer that the edges were a little sharp and could be noticed when leaning on the desk. I purchased knowing this thinking I would tolerate this or it may have been one bad batch for the last review. Unfortunately, it is very obvious once you start using the desk. I personally do not mind this, I can work with it and I purchased knowing this. But it is a consideration none the less.

The desk is ideal for the price, I was looking for a small footprint desk for a pretty tight room - this works perfectly well for that purpose, the cable managements and rack mounts are clever and the desk works as I need it to. I use wall mounted monitors and speakers, so the desk is pretty free, I would imagine if you intended on using the desk to hold items like this, it would become pretty cramped pretty quickly.

I am happy with this purchase, all things considered.

Great desk, minor issues let it down.
Rascal12 12.04.2020
As a producer looking to take my space to the next level, this desk is definitely ideal. It was quite easy to install (save for one issue, ill get onto that) The cable routing allows me to hide all the mess that has accumulated and the keyboard tray just makes production so much easier. The angled rack units saves so much space.

It does what it sets out to do and it does that well, however, there are some cons that shouldn't change your purchase (as this desk is probably the best in this price bracker), but you should be aware of them before buying.

The first is the pointy edges, I cut myself when building this a few times. When resting your arm on the edge of the desk, you can definitely feel it. It's not uncomfortable but it's noticeable.

The next two points aren't cons but are more things you should be aware of. The first being that installation is really easy apart from the keyboard tray, the placement of this is very precise so do beware when you install it. The second is the gap between the monitor stand and main desk is small, so measure any monitor stands that you have.

Overall, it's a solid desk for the money.

it seems to be small. but it?s big!
Batuta 01.04.2020
Good product, inteligent, nice materials!
But, it could have a better finishing where your arm makes contact. a rounded smoothe one, would be perfect.

for the price, it?s a great deal! i recommend!

Good but damanged
ReampDan 08.01.2020
Item arrived initially all damaged, was sent a replacement also damaged but work is work. Overall its a lovely desk but the wood is very easily ruined.

If you can ignore cosmetics, its worth it.

Amazing for the price
Wilhelm J 22.07.2021
I bought this desk to use in my home studio. It is a nice size for a modest setup. The desk is incredibly sturdy for a flat pack item. A display and two monitors fit on the shelf, or two displays if you use speaker stands. The rack space is convenient but it is angled. Which I think I prefer but I previously had a rack shelf that I used to hold hard drives and a USB hub. So I had to make other space available for those. The keyboard shelf is just barely big enough for my big '90's era 61-key workstation. But it holds the weight well and glides smoothly. A newer 61 key or less controller should fit easily. I guess the edges are sharp as other reviewers say but that can be fixed. In this price range nothing else comes close. I'll note I'm in the U.S.A. so comparable desks go for 2x the price. Even with international shipping this was a deal.
