Arrived in two boxes because, as I found out, this sucker is much more solid and way heavier than you may think. It goes together like traditional flat-pack furniture; however, take considerable attention with the instructions. Although clear and straightforward, the door's soft close hinges, as shown in the diagram, are in the wrong orientation, and the screws mounting inside the cabinet section are shown in the wrong holes...they go into the slotted ones which give you adjustment distance to use. This caused confusion as when I mounted them as instructed, I had to adjust the hinge way out and still did not have the space for the door and when a part unscrewed and fell out out due to trying to get adjustment, I discovered there was no way to get that piece back in without bending things and that just caused me to go get new hinges at Home Depot for $12 for a pair, and they were better and easier to install two-piece units. That's just learning as I go.I am using this as a server rack unit in my loft for rack-mount computer equipment. Dedicated short-height network racks are very industrial looking and anything with decent depth that looks good for a home is easily $1,000. The open back of this particular unit is unobstructed and therefore lends itself to airflow if not against the wall. The actual inside dimension is almost 24" high and 22" depth, which means 13.7u of converted actual height, and if one bought a set of 12u rails and mounted them in the back, like I did, they could screw in some 20" rails and have nice sliding 20-22" 4u server case, which is what I am using. a pair of Rosewill 4u chassis for a main computer and network-attached storage, plus another switch mounted and a UPS would also go well all in that unit, finishing up with a rackmount drawer to take up the rest of the space. It has a high Wife Approval Factor and when built, is heavy! The caster wheels are very nice and will mount onto the legs provides or onto the bottom in screw-in sockets so you dont need the legs. Regardless, the legs and feet make it exactly 30" desk height. Using castered wheels only lose about an inch and a half.Very solid unit. And yes it is a bit pricey, but for something this quality and what it can handle, it's pretty much worth the money because nobody else is making a nice looking rack mount cabinet for this money, unless its something you can do yourself.

It’s not a commonly needed piece of furniture for obvious reasons, so I appreciate that somebody out there decided to make this and make it well.Instructions are thoughtfully written, build quality is exact, and fit & finish are in line with the price paid. All in all, a terrific value for the money.

It's tough to write a review on an item that's 1/2 built. I suppose I should start by saying that my issue is with the seller and not the quality of the desk. I've had to order this desk twice, and both times the desk was missing actual parts and hardware. Since this is a third-party seller, Amazon was not able to help me. So now I'm stuck with a $650 desk. After contacting the seller, their solution was for me to return the desk since it would take months to receive the missing parts which obviously they knew they were missing. I said "I'm halfway building it, the boxes are gone, and you want me to break it down again?". Amazon said they would not be attending to this matter any longer. Long story short, go directly to the manufacturer. Do not deal with this vendor or Amazon for this desk. The desk sure seems sturdy, and targeted to producers. Sadly this vendor and Amazon will not help you at all.

Good product overall.....feet are made a cheap pot metal type product.......one had a mounting corner broken off during packing/shipping.....replaced them anyhow with locking casters.......extension drawer glide is a little light weight, but i moved it down to hold a turntable, so I may replace them also.....quick assembly and very hearty other than my mentions above

Purchased this desk for a small home recording area. I saw the desk in blog post and it seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for. Looked nice but not crazy expensive. I have actually been on the look out for a while to upgrade from my table I have been using, but it seemed like there was only something that looked really cheap or you go to uber expensive.Assembly was as expected. Directions are good and all the parts were accounted for plus some extra. I would say 20 minutes start to finish.The best part was all the little surprises after I got it put together. The tray is extra large allowing for a controller or keyboard. Very impressed with the ability to get the cables out of site and neatly organized by running them down the interior of the legs. Also like the adjustability of the hutch. Lastly, the pre-done hole to mount a desktop mic is awesome….Now I am planning to purchase a Gator Frameworks boom stand vs the desktop one I have to get a cleaner look.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It is good quality knock down furniture, well thought out and is helping to make my home set up look professional and neat.

Took some time to build but is a great product. Extremely sturdy, and therefore heavy (especially when loaded), so won’t be moved very often so very satisfied with it so far!

The wood and parts are sturdy and the finish is very nice. The assembly instructions, even the YouTube video that updates the printed instructions, are lacking when it comes to showing how the drawer sliding mechanisms come apart but not bad overall. My biggest gripe was that I was shipped two identical side pieces (right side) so I had to measure and drill new pilot holes to be able to mount the drawer and the rack ears, which leaves extra unused holes that if I were inclined to care would have be patched up. I can do that but when I pay extra for prefabbed furniture, I expect it to be shipped correctly. I could have contacted the manufacturer and waited for them to ship me a new part but instead spent an extra hour doing it myself.

Estaba algo preocupado por unas valoraciones que comentaban que les habia llegado en mal estado pero en mi caso llegó muy bien empacado. Las instrucciones fueron bastante claras por lo que resulto sencillo de ensamblar.Si buscas una alternativa a un rack de servidor o un gabinete de red pero que sea visualmente atractiva y que tu esposa no te cuelgue por lo feo que se ve, esta es la opción.

TenÃa una pequeña abolladura en uno de los páneles posteriores. No es perceptible ya que está en la parte de atrás, sin embargo corrà con suerte ya que viene muy mal empacado.La calidad es superior. A pesar de que no parece ser madera sólida, el acabado es grueso y no se ve que se vaya degradar facilmente. Los herrajes son de un metal ligero también muy resistente. El armado es sencillo si se cuenta con la herramienta adecuada. Las instrucciones son lo suficientemente claras y para todas las piezas hay refacciones incluÃdas.
