Thomann ComboDesk - designed by Zaor

Tarvitsin pieneen asuntoomme combopöydän johon mahtuisi kiippari, monitorit ja muutama läppäri. No sellainen löytyi. Kasaaminen otti vajaan tunnin ja vain pari virheliikettä tuli tehdyksi mistä selvisin uudelleen irroittamisella. Ohjeet olivat kyllä selkeät ja pelkästään kuvia katsomalla pystyi järkeilemään miten päin osat tuli liittää toisiinsa. Johdot sun muun härpäkkeet sai hyvin piiloon pöydän takaosassa olevalle piilohyllylle. Kannessa on myös aukkoja joita voi käyttää johtojen vetämiseen ilman spagettihässäköitä. Mustavalkoisuus on vähän erikoista, puolet siis mustaa puolet valkoista mdf-lastulevyä. Pienenä miinuksena pidän pöydän terävää etureunaa joka painaa ikävästi paljaita käsivarsia kun työskentelee läppärillä. Kiipparitasolle plussaa siitä että valittavana on neljä korkeustasoa mihin liukukiskot voi asentaa. Normaalimittaiselle suosittelen kuitenkin ylintätasoa jotta jaloille jää hyvin tilaa. Arturian koskettimisto tuli ainakin itselleni toiseksi ylimmässä asennuksessa ihan passelille korkeudelle. Itse en tarvinnut räkkiasennusrautoja tällä kertaa, mutta sellaisetkin paketista löytyy, ja pöydästä kaksi räkkipaikkaa kaiutin/apuhyllyn alapuolelta. Tukevan oloinen pöytä. Kannatti maksaa.

The assembly manual was easy to understand and unambiguous. Built it alone in approx 90 min.

The cable management capabilities of this desk are superb! I managed to stuff almost an entire studio worth of cable into the cable recess in the back. The little holes in the rack cover make for excellent cable entries for keyboard/mouse or other utensils.

Table is visually pleasing and works well together with LED strips.

Keyboard tray is smooth and sturdy, works very well together with a Nord Electro 5D 73.

Very solid table for the price, has been in use for a few years now as a multipurpose table for both gaming and working and the only complaint I have is that the upper shelf wastes some space due to its design. Looks cool though.
In moments of frustration I've been banging on the sliding part of the table (hard, I'm not exactly a small person) and it still slides smoothly and doesn't wobble at all, neither does the table itself so I think that speaks volumes about the quality. Easy to assemble too. 4.7/5

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.
