    I stored this in my Mother's garage that leaks.

    For sure isn't worth the money or particle board its made on. I need to for sure grab me some power tools for the low and make something it's destroyed beyond use now.

    Would be great to get something similar in your post cause I have same shape Monitor similar but HP, and use a 49 Key Midi.
    Due to money constrictions I went with cheap 1 tier desk 8/. WOuld be nice to have a rollout

    I bought these as well and foam to block out the structure treble

    These puppies are almost on their last lag cause the Krk 5 Rokit Gen 3 weigh a lot. It definitely sinks in. I've got Goals now then.

    Hey BEAT16, I saw your post and felt compelled to share!

    So the output task is easier than it looks to build, however I was lucky enough to have a dad who's a master carpenter with a well equipped garage.

    My review of it being just over a year old now is; Wow holy moly I have one of the best studio desks that money just can't buy. One of the perks of building the desk yourself rather than buying (other than the massive savings) it is the fact you get to stain & finish it yourself. As you can see, I went with a two-tone look.

    If you decide to do this yourself, make sure to research what the strongest plywood is in your area, better for it to be heavy than wobbly!

    The plans are attached (message me for pdf of imperial or metric), I hope you live near a home depot!

    Yes i know.
    If you go to his profile page, you'll see that he was last here in November.
    Before you wait forever, I thought maybe it would be helpful.

    Ah yeah, fair enough, thank you.

    I am hoping that the people who are doing the desk are able to understand the imperial measurements.
