Good desk, with its flaws
Great desk for the price, but it has a few drawbacks. I installed a 4U rackmount PC case, 2 KRK 7G4 studio monitors on the wings and a PC screen on a swivel monitor mount in the middle, which seems fairly standard equipment. The off-center weight immediately destroyed the wheels when I tried to move the desk to attach power cables. The desk was also extremely wobbly, so I gave up on the "mobile" aspect and shoved some blocks under the base which fixed these issues.
I wanted to put my legs under the desk which revealed another "flaw", the semicircle in the base is just barely big enough to allow a standard office chair to scoot close enough to rest my elbows on the desk. This means that my feet can not rest on the floor but are instead raised to the height of the desk base, and that I can't stash my office chair completely under the desk. I'm fairly small so it is not a big drawback, but worth to look out for if you're tall.
But in the bigger picture, a desk with these features would normally cost a couple hundred euros more, so I would still recommend it to anyone looking for an entry-level desk with rackmounts.

Nice desk
This desk is huge and versatile, with plenty of space to place a plethora of devices ranging from synths, mixers and controllers with enough room left over to eat your dinner as well.
Assembly is nice and simple but I soon realised the keyboard shelf sits quite low at 60cm high off the ground and ended up clashing with my knees. It's easy to add some timber spacers to lift it a little higher though.
In contrast, the main desktop is quite high too at 76cm off the ground. So if this bothers you, the castors can be removed and replaced with standard furniture feet from your local hardware store to lower the entire unit by about 6-8cm.
Only other thing to mention is the laminate surface has a rough-wood laminate effect. It looks and feels nice enough, but I've noticed that some devices tend to slide about quite easily due to low surface contact, and if you wish to sketch or jot down any notes then you'll need to rest your paper on something else first.
Overall, despite its measurement quirks it fits my needs perfectly, and I'm looking forward to making some fun music on it.

That's really good, but the keys-drawer is too low!!
The desk is overall really good, no big resonance, good materials, good design, a lot of space, but the drawer for the keyboard is really too-low and my knees keep hitting the lower part of it, I think I will remove it. Also the shelfs for speakers are just 10-12 kg capable, so for 8'' monitors there might be some issues, my solution is to put stands below the shelfs to avoid stress on the joints. Great for home studios, totally worth the price, maybe not enough for pro-audio situation but still good.

Can't find anything even close at this price
I am very happy with the desk. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that, as others have noted, the design of the pull out shelve seems to be problematic. It should be further in under the desk. As it is it requires a very low chair which will be a problem with anyone not having one or being of more than medium height. The shelve is also a tad wobbly due to a design precision issue. I do love the desk overall though since I am not very tall and it works for me fairly well.

Good for this price
Using it in my home studio.
Better to have a separate screen stand behind this desk, because the desktop is too small for screen and other things things that i want to have at hand.
On one of the pics you can see that the shelf for midi keyboard can't be fully pushed inside under desktop. So i had to drill some holes to push this shelf a little bit deeper inside under desk. Now trying to find the way how to fix this shelf higher.
The center wheel had lost it form after several months, poor quality.
And you should find your way how to fix all cables under desktop, if you don't want to put them on the floor.

Exceptional studio desk for the money
It's incredibly strong & the working area, rack space & sliding keyboard are well thought out.
The one thing I found that lets the Millenium down slightly is - if your outboard gear is heavy, like mine, the Studio Desk becomes a little back heavy & a) the caster wheels are not strong enough to cope & crumble under the weight & b) the desk can start to wobble a bit under certain functions.
The way I've coped with this is by simply removing the caster wheels.
Other than this the Millenium is fine & quite amazing for the money.

Otherwise great but...
I was disappointed with the quality of the keyboard trey which on mine is super wobbly. Maybe a defect or just received a bad unit? Otherwise very happy with the product.
