Very nice looking, but I think the end caps- pine, if I am correct- are not up to the standard. Given they are accent pieces, I would suggest you replace them with a better-looking wood. The grain of that wood just screams "CHEAP!" while the rest of the desk looks great.
Also, given the desk appears to be operated from a sitting position, I'd say the angles of the top racks is wrong. They appear to be angled for a standing position.
The end caps are actually customer selected. And both are fir.
The angles of the racks are actually better then what the pictures show. You can can reach everything from the seated position.
Both clients were extremely happy.

Thanks Myriad.
I custom design all workstations and the client is sent CAD's of everything before it is built.
This ensures a happy client!
I'd love to see your desk.

Really nice looking!
Are the dual monitors on covers from cd-r packs?
Yes, he hadn't purchased his monitor arm at the time of taking the pictures.

I've often seen that grain pattern on pine plywood, and IMHO it cheapens the look of the desk- but maybe that's just me.
Rest assured that all of our clients pick their wood.
They can pick fir, oak, maple, walnut, padauk... heck if they want to spend the money, they can even pick snake wood, if they want to spend the money.
What wood did you use for your workstation?

I like the rack angle in the first desk, it puts the face panels perpendicular to the operator's line of sight. The second table seems to tilt it back too far, staring at the ceiling. He'd have to stand up and look down to view the dials and displays.
I like how the center is wide open and large enough for a keyboard AND mouse side by side. Once the monitors are on top of the racks, everything's at ear level.
Next question. What about a continous top shelf, so multiple monitors can be placed side by side? The second desk seems to work fine with just one or two monitors, but if three are used, or two really wide monitors, I'd worry about the bases fitting between the racks correctly.
Hey Bryan,
I can build pretty much anything that an engineer wants. (minus gear)
I have definitely thought about a continuous shelf.
The workstation with the racks angled back, originally the client wanted a continuous shelf, but three days after decided against the idea.
Thanks for the compliments.

The desk with the KRK's was sold for $850.00 + tax.
The desk with the angled backs was sold for $900 + tax.
It all depends on what you want in it.
I am currently a CAD that fits
the Toft ATB 24. This will cost a bit more as I am using more material. (But not much more)
My company isn't out to bleed musicians.
It's primarily focused on offering workstations to the home recording studio.
I understand that most people are on a budget. So I came up with a product that will be offered to people at a a reasonable price.
I hope that every gets that.
Thanks for all the compliments and the constructive feed back.
I appreciate all of it.
Cheers.
