The desk is sturdy and stable. It is built with an industry-grade steel frame and a very spacious two-tier desktop to give you enough space to hold all of your studio equipment. This desk gives you the option of producing music either sitting or standing. You can even dance to the tunes you're producing while you work.

What I Like
I like a lot about FlexiSpot's Studio standing Desk, but what I like most is that this studio desk is an all-in-one desk. The design of the desk is both functional and sustainable. I do not need to purchase an additional desk to hold my equipment. It comfortably holds all my equipment from a monitor to keyboard, microphone, mixers, and even speakers. It makes music production easier and more seamless.
I like another feature of this desk is the easy sit/stand transition. I like the fact that I can produce music standing. I noticed that standing gets me to respond to beats faster, which helps me simulate how the music would impact listeners on the dance floor. It enables me to test the flow of my sounds easily and make adjustments on the go.
What I Don’t Like
Studio standing desk ESD101 is a very functional and practical desk, and it was hard to find something I did not like about it. I observed, however, that this desk has a maximum loading capacity of 110bs, which is rather small compared to that of most standing desks.
While the desk would hold your monitor, keyboard, mouse, monitor speakers, and other lightweight equipment, it is not advisable to load heavier equipment on the desk. Nonetheless, the desk transitions smoothly and does not wobble even at the highest adjustable height. And it has served me excellently so far.
Design and Layout
FlexiSpot’s studio standing desk has a functional design that includes a two-tier desktop, a large sliding keyboard tray, and a durable steel frame. The top shelf can hold up two display monitors and display monitors. Directly underneath the top shelf are three compartments attached to the lower shelf for holding mixers, amplifiers, equalizers, or any other equipment of your choice.
The lower shelf still has enough desktop space to hold your monitor keyboard, mouse, desktop microphone, and any other equipment you might need. Beneath the second layer is the sliding keyboard tray.
