Customer Reviewsfrom Fremont, Ohio August 8, 2011 Music Background: pro musician and hobbyist I am very happyThis is an great workstation because it's strong and sturdy, it is very attractive and looks like some kind of alien tech in my home studo. It wasn't hard to assemble and I am very happy with this purchase!.from Southern Ontario, Canada. July 22, 2009 Music Background: Pro turned hobbyist. The Total PackageThis keyboard workstation Stand is the total package if you are looking for versatility, tweak ability or just plain ol' bad *** durability. For either studio or stage this stand does it all! Sweetwater rocks!from Arlington, VA November 28, 2011 Great Home Studio Desk (with a few caveats)Desk comes in three boxes. Assembly is relatively easy but you have to be somewhat inclined to assembly-type work as the instructions are occasionally vague ("the stickers should face the keyboard player") and the diagrams are just a touch better than if someone sketched them by hand on a napkin. I found it much easier to use the instructions as a general guide and find photos online of the assembled unit for reference. Even so, I put a couple of things on backwards before their purpose became clear.The desk has space for a couple of keyboards (the music kind) and a sliding tray for the computer keyboard/mouse. I have one MIDI controller keyboard which I placed on the lower of the two shelves. If you don't have a second keyboard you can always get a wooden shelf to place on that upper keyboard holder. Then you'll have a place to put a mixer or some other peripheral. The monitor (computer and speaker kind) stands are sturdy but some of them, no matter what you do, will probably be off-level. This is really my only complaint about the unit which has strong materials and generally seems solid. Looking at it from the side, one of my speakers leans backwards significantly - not enough to slide off but enough to look kind of low-rent. Some won't care. I like level. The computer shelf at the bottom will only hold a mid-tower so if you have a full tower, forget about using it. Everything has a place on this desk. There's 4 monitor stands. If you use one computer monitor then you'll have an extra for some equipment but otherwise, all space is accounted for. You'll need to create extra space with the shelf I mentioned above or you'll need a separate cabinet or table for other things. And there's nowhere you'd even consider putting a drink. It's a great desk and except for the slight reservations mentioned in this review, I'd definitely recommend it for the home studio. from Cedar Rapids, IA USA October 3, 2008 Music Background: Hobbyist / Semi-professional Works well for meI replaced a plain table with this bad boy, and am I ever happy. Having my keyboard "right there" makes it so it's ready to roll when I am. Having my DAW, keyboard, and monitors right there in a flexible configuration is a great help.from Raleigh, NC December 17, 2010 Music Background: Weekend warrior Works well for keyboardsI found this to be a great sturdy stand for keyboards, monitor speakers, mixer, etc. -- once I removed all the useless computer stand parts. The computer keyboard drawer leaves no room for your knees, the CPU stand is right where you can painfully hit your ankles and gets in the way of needed space for pedals. The only other complaint I have is that the stand doesn’t really adjust low enough -- at the lowest position it works if you play sitting on a bar stool like I do, but if you want your bottom keyboard at standard grand piano height you’ll need to take a hacksaw and remove a few inches off the bottom of the supports. Still, my studio area is so much neater since I got this stand, I have no regrets about buying it.from Morton, IL April 2, 2011 Music Background: Indie Studio Owner, Producer, Electronic Musician I thought this was the "one"...Recently I joined the rest of you and moved most of my recording from the physical to the virtual. With this came virtual instruments and effects, and I was absolutely in love. However, this left me in an odd position concerning setup. I just couldn't find a way to put my PC/DAW and my keyboard workstations together...Then I found this.Well, the directions are abysmal, the "platter" supports for the audio and video monitors are very wobbly and don't ever stand up straight, the PC shelf and rack simply sit on the frame with a slot on their bottom, the PC keyboard drawer is really flimsy and there is far less adjustability in the 2nd tier keyboard stand than you'd expect. My search for an affordable integration solution apparently continues, this just isn't it...Not by a long shot. from Everett, WA July 19, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist NEEDS MORE WORK!This stand has flaws for use as a computer workstation. The monitor platforms with shake with the slightest keyboard touch. You will find that all of the monitor and speaker stands can't be leveled because of small errors during construction. I stripped the unit down and am using it for an expensive two tier keyboard stand. It offers too little for too much money! |
