I love this desk that I bought for my recording studio. It allowed me to install all my audio interfaces, patch bay, CD/DVD recorder, headphone amp rack right in front of me at arms length. The lower sliding shelf moves completely out of the way under the desk and back out for an additional keyboard. Love the headphone hangers and the edges of the desk stick out just far enough to attach monitor clamps, or you can just set the monitor on the top shelf. Great deal for recording musicians!
