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.

Best value music desk, sturdy & versitile
Cookizza 12.10.2021
I was close to buying the Zaor Miza junior but settled for this instead and I'm very glad I did.

The rack spaces are super helpful and the covers they come with let you use them as regular cubby holes.

Fits perfectly my 5 inch monitors and a 27" screen.

Some people complain the edges are sharp but I think they have addressed this as mine are absolutely fine.

Drawer is decent and doesn't move around while playing keyboard. and legroom with the keyboard at it's second highest point is totally fine.

I think the more expensive desks have more rugged screw points, where disassembling and rebuilding the desk would be easier. I'd imagine the chipboard, while the thickest I've seen, wouldn't last 10+ rebuilds. If that's your thing.

Overall I'd buy this desk again, really happy.

Really great desk!
nikreiman 19.01.2022
I spent a loooong time looking at different desks, not only at Thomann, but also IKEA and other places as well. I finally settled on this one, and I couldn't be happier. I'm a pretty tall guy (2m), and by not installing the keyboard rest, I have plenty of legroom. The height is good as well -- shorter people probably would also be happy with a normal-sized chair and sitting upright. I love the cable management features and the rack is very solidly built.

As other reviewers have noted, the edges of the desk can be a bit sharp. I use an extra-large gaming mousepad (80cm) to counter this, but I don't feel that the sharp edges are extreme or dangerous.

My only complaints are that on some parts of the desk, there is a small chip (maybe 5mm - 1cm in length, and 2mm in width) on the back edge, where I can see the wood instead of the white finish. This was there from the day that I unpacked the unit, so it was either banged around during shipping or it happened during manufacturing. However, the chip is quite small and doesn't bother me. Also, the desk could have been a bit more well-packed. Some of the extra screws fell out of the box during shipping, but fortunately, I didn't need them. For these reasons, I subtracted 1 star for "quality", but otherwise, for the features it's the best desk I've found and I'm very happy with it!

G
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!

A worthwhile investment for any music producer or enthusiast!
Anonymous 13.06.2023
I purchased the Thomann ComboDesk for my small studio, and I wanted to share my honest review with you.
As a music producer, having a dedicated and well-designed workspace is crucial for comfort and organization. That's why I chose this desk over generic desks from Ikea or similar brands. Its compact size and functionality perfectly suit my square-shaped room. The dedicated drawer for my MIDI keyboard and built-in cable management features have greatly improved my workflow and reduced clutter.
In conclusion, I think that this desk is the ultimate studio desk for compact spaces. Its sleek design, sturdy construction, and thoughtful features make it a worthwhile investment for any music producer or enthusiast. To see the desk in action, check out my video on YouTube, Search for "Henrik Harrell Studio Desk"
Cheers!

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.

Great value desk
Medway Studios 06.01.2023
I got this desk as my new space was slightly too narrow for my old desk (Fame Workbench).

Took a little while to arrive but the shipping company was excellent - good communication and even delivered up to my flat's door.

Construction wasn't too time consuming or difficult. The only tricky part was adding the pull out shelf.

A lot has been said here about the sharp edges but I would have never noticed them if it wasn't for the reviews - for me it's not been an issue.

I did create a few chips in the edge of the rack areas when lowering down my gear. I'd suggest care when doing so, or better yet add a towel or cloth into the front edge first and then gently pull away when the piece is inserted.

Ergonomically it's much better than my older desk. I'm on the shorter side - 173cm - and the height is just right for me. I had to put the pull out shelf at its highest mounting point though. Even then the bottom of the shelf is just barely above my legs. I can imagine for a taller person this might be an issue.

The space on the desk is great for putting a laptop or other bits as you need them. The monitor stand is a little far away but I installed a gas adjustable mount for it so I can bring it close while I'm working or push it back when I need the area clear for monitoring.

I have a 34inch ultrawide monitor and it just barely fits with enough room for my speakers on the side.

All in all I'm very happy with the desk. Although I was force to get it due to space restraints I'm glad I did as it's an improvement to my work flow over my old one anyways.

B
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!

Great Studio Desk at a Great Price
MigopdeBeat 29.12.2022
It was so easy to assemble the desk, It is at the Ikea level of assembly
if you want to compare.
The only bad thing about the desk is that it was missing 2 little wooden sticks for the key drawer.
They where simply not in the box, but i had some spare ones lying around so no problem.
Besides of that it is a very good studio desk at low price !
I am very happy i bought one.
