This desk looks great, and if you put no rack units in it its awesome!
However, if you do put rack units in it, you discover the space is not 5u tall, but 5u and some inches, so there is a gap at the top which looks terrible, but i guess at least some ventilation.
The main issue is that the desk can not handle the weight of the rack units it holds, the material is MDF and it bends till it hits the very flimsy single cross support underneath. This is not even with full depth rack units!!!
My desk is a banana, at the time I put the gear on sag was approx 5mm, now after a month by about 1cm lower in the center than the sides. Apparently this is within the design tolerance so beware according to the team at Thomann who spoke to the manufacturer. I am glad I was told that "Your purchase is covered by our 3-year repairs warranty" as I think I will need it.
I was missing a screw and the left runner was broken, Thomann were amazing and sent replacements for these, but the replacement shelf runner is also faulty. I cant be bothered trying for another.
Looks great, unless you actually load it up with rack units. If you want something that looks like a studio desk to sit a laptop on go for it, you will look awesome. Try and use it for its real use, good luck!!!
To be clear, Thomann were awesome, they just should not sell such a shoddy product. Five stars for Thomann!
