The Elite Furniture Series GFW-ELITEDESK-BLK center desk by Gator Frameworks is both an elegant and ergonomic workstation ideal for podcasts, broadcasts, content creation, gaming, streaming, and home recording. Its standard black finish helps to retain the classic studio desk aesthetic, while a double-level design and customizable rack system provide plenty of space for gear essentials. The upper platform measures 47.2”/1200mm in length x 14”/356mm in depth, delivering more than enough surface area for setting down a pair of small-to-large studio monitors and a flat display screen. The lower platform offers a total of 17”/432mm in depth, making it perfect for a small MIDI controller, keyboard or mixer. The GFW-ELITEDESK-BLK features up to eight (8) units of rack space to keep audio interfaces, dynamic processors, preamps, or other outboard gear in close reach, along with a slide-out tray to accommodate either a computer keyboard or 49-note keyboard/MIDI controller. Choose between a 4U center rack or dual 4U rack configurations using the movable dividers. To further help preserve desktop space, pre-bore holes on the lower surface allow for mounting Frameworks-brand desktop mic boom arm models. To help keep cables managed, simply thread them through the under-desk cable organization system, which includes removable inner panels on the legs for additional cable routing. Leveling feet are also included for additional stability when placing the desk on uneven floor surfaces

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.
