Hi, thanks for your review. Is it solid wood or light weight MDF or worse? My issues with non solid wood is they vibrate with low frequency. Does that occur? Thanks
Thanks for watching! The desk does not seem to be made of solid wood, but some kind of MDF.... but, I wouldn't consider it 'lightweight' and I have yet to notice any vibrations, buzzing or any issues when playing loud bass heavy music. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet and please throw a comment here if hear anyone having a different experience with this desk.
Looking in the the holes in the front corners, it’s clear that it’s not MDF, it’s a void-free ply.
That’s quite remarkable for the low price. Do you aldo recommend it? My only concern is getting a big enough stereo image. I could also invest in some stands if needed
Highly recommended! This is as nice-looking as any furniture you might put in any other room in your house, in a minimalist kind of way. The wood grain is slightly raised, and beautiful. I bought the maple color, as well. Obviously, it’s not dove-tail joinery, but once put together, it’s very solid and stable. I ordered mine through Guitar Center. Not only cheaper than Sweetwater, they had a 15% off coupon code when ordered through one of their phone reps. Can’t beat that. I also bought the corner piece and the floor rack.
Good stuff. I’ll get it
Now thats what I call a desk
Hey I had a question.
I currently own an SSL Mynx and I’m wondering if it would fit in the middle port.
I was wondering if you could give me the dimensions of the port in the middle cause I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.
Thanks for watching! The middle port's dimensions are 5in wide and 8in high.
It does look good, but by monitor and JBL’s wouldn’t fit on top
Thanks for watching! Yeah, gotta have a relatively small speaker footprint on this desk. Don't forget to subscribe!
The legs are thin and my concern is how sturdy it is and how much weight it can hold it doesn’t say at all also i think is made of plywood
I had that same concern at first, but have ran into no issues with stability. It is not solid wood, so if that is a 'no-go' for you I understand but I'm happy with it. Thanks or watching and don't forget to subscribe!
Does this desk wobble from side to side?
Thanks for watching! No, in my experience this desk is sturdy and does not wobble. Don't for forget to subscribe if you haven't yet!
Do you happen to know what the height clearance is between the tray and the top of the desk? I'm wondering what sorts of things I'll be able to fit in there. Thank you!
The space is about 3.25", so not a ton of clearance, but enough for a midi keyboard etc.
@@FuzzywallzMastering very much appreciate the reply, thank you! Hard to find that information for some reason.
@@Funkbutterfly you're welcome, and yeah, those dimensions aren't easy to find at all.
Thanks for the video. Do you feel that the desk is stable? (ie, does it wobble at all?)
Thanks for watching! The desk feels very stable, no wobble on mine. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet!
Thanks buddy!
Believe it or not i used have a business manufacturing levitation pads but the Gator Frameworks goldilocks desk meant that the business never took off ! Could the back bar on the keyboard tray be left off as my ( synth ) keyboard is a bit deeper than the tray ? Nice review mate,thanks.
Hahaha, thwarted by Gator... but don't give up hope, levitation pads will be needed by someone, for something, some day! Regarding the back bar, looking at it again and from what I recall from building it, if you want to just leave that off.... I don't see any issues with that. Seems very optional. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
@@FuzzywallzMastering Thumb zupped and sub'd dude !
After a late night and the whole morning I finally got this beast together. The instruction booklet is very nebulous and really slowed the process down.
Congrats and thanks for watching! Yes, I recall some of the steps in the instruction manual took a few tries... Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet.
Nice Video, quick question: Is the keyboard-tray sturdy, or does it move while playing a bit harder/ faster on the keys? How is your overall experience since the video?
Thanks for watching. In my experience thus far, the keyboard tray is quite sturdy and does not move like you're describing. Still happy with this desk months laster. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet, we've got more videos coming!
Tell me, with the back plates of the left and right sides of the top of the desk, how do you run your cables through with equipment that is longer in depth? There is no space left
Thanks for watching! I know what you mean, and from what I see (and recall about building it) those are not structurally necessary and could be removed, or just not built in to begin with, leaving the the back completely open. In fact I may end up doing that if I change out some equipment. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet!
@@FuzzywallzMastering I got rid of my back plates and although it supplies less support, the top of my desk when I set it down applies enough pressure for me not to care but at least I can reach the back of all of my equipment
I just set my gator frameworks desk up and agree with the video. I would like to add a comment about the material. It is not particle board. For my situation I made a 1/2 moon cut into the back of the desk table top to allow for other cables against the wall. The desk is a very dence plywood , kinda reminds me of marine grade ply wood. NOT PATICLE BOARD.
Thanks for the help in clarification and thanks for watching! Yes, upon further review it seems the consensus is it is a hard and dense plywood of some kind. Thanks again for helping out!
Is plywood like the output desk is competitor but output is wider
@@naegleriafowleri2230 I think output is actually solid wood. I bought an Acme one on Amazon and it’s mdf it wobbles going back 💀
