When you’re working on your own music studio, one thing is certain — equipment is important. And sure, when you start out with a home studio, you don’t need that much fancy equipment. But as your studio becomes better and more competitive, you’ll find that the first workstation that you used, in the beginning, isn’t good enough for all of your equipment anymore.

At that point, investing in a bigger and better desk for music production is the only sound thing to do; you don’t want to not have the ability to meet the demands of your work. However, choosing the best producer desk is not always the easiest thing in the world.

Professional studio workstations can go up to 2000 dollars. Not many can afford this kind of desk in their studio. Luckily for you, we’re going to help you with twelve affordable home studio desk ideas. Without any further ado, let’s dive right into it!

This time around, we’ll take a look at something different; a desk that’s generally not a home recording studio desk, and has a totally different aesthetic. Indeed, the Vinext Industrial model is still a computer desk, but one you’d find in the office of a tech-startup manager. The look is definitely more vintage and less studio-Esque; but not necessarily a bad thing by any stretch. 

Firstly, the desk is manufactured with a metal frame that has a black finish. The board for the tabletop is also incredibly sturdy and resistant to any friction or scratching; meaning that the maintenance for the desk will be incredibly easy. Furthermore, the legs are also made of metal — and the bottom contains leg pads that are individually adjustable.

This is a bit smaller, but still similar to the office desk that we’ve reviewed above. Apart from the fact that it has a white finish, we’d definitely point out that it’s more similar to that office desk than any of the others on this list. Generally, these desks are used by writers, coders, and other people who spend a lot of their time in an office or a home study. 

However, that doesn’t mean that this desk is not suitable for a home studio as well. It has an excellent MDF board along with rigid metal, meaning that it provides for more than enough stability and sturdiness; regardless of how much equipment you place on it.

Plus, you get a cupholder that’s very neatly integrated into the overall construction; you won’t need to dehydrate yourself or keep getting up as you spend long hours in front of your DAW. 

The best feature of this home studio desk is the built-in support for your monitor display and studio speakers. The design of the desk is definitely versatile enough to warrant a recommendation for all kinds of activities; you can use it for music production, composing, mixing, and mastering. Plus, it manages to be both compact and spacious enough to fit into most studio apartments, dorm rooms, etc. 

The steel base of the desk is quite solid and powder-coated, meaning you don’t have to worry about stability and strength while using this product.

And the desk’s load-bearing capacity is around 300lbs, meaning that you won’t have to worry about stability as you place all kinds of devices on it. 

And this is all great even without mentioning the fact that it contains a display stand that’s adjustable according to the height – meaning that you won’t experience any eye strain regardless of your stature.
