I'm designing a desk for my mixing-room Edit: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18383 It's for - 61key midi keyboard (I have 49key now), on a desk-drawer. - 2x2U rack-space - One graphic monitor on bridge

There will be a few minor corrections to this, but I believe it's approximately good. Attached sketchup-file. Basic materials Glued pine: 2400 x 600 x 18 (and maybe 1000 x 200 x 18) for the legs Glued Oak: 1500 x 300 x 18 for the desk and top Maybe I'll use some standard wood for the fastening under the desk Question: Do you believe the design is strong enough? I would prefer the monitor-bridge to be a little lower, but when adding space for midi-keyboard, my legs and 2Urack, this was as low I could get. Same, I would prefer desk for pc-keyboard a little lower. Any important considerations I should do? I'll use Kraig Pocket hole tool for joining the parts (especially the desk-top that I plan use 2 pieces of oak for)

Some unknown factors: - The width of the midi-keyboard desk fastening (15mm) - I'm not quite sure about the lenght of the fastening either. Could be 400mm. Then I have to make some adjustments. I can choose between a 400/800mm (closed/open) that supports 50kg, or a 246/??mm that supports 10kg http://www.clasohlson.com/no/b/Jernvare ... uffebeslag Hm.. Check: - I'll have to double-check width of rack-space
Checked space on bridge for 2x nearfields + Lcd Lcd: 51cm Rookit5: 2 x 29cm (maybe they'll go on stands, or not be used, bu anyway..) Angled monitor: 2 x 6cm Extra: 2 x 2cm Sum: 105cm So, my width is fine :)
