Desks
Stylish. Compact.
Gear Hive's studio desk collection brings the same California craftsmanship and premium wood construction as our studio racks to your entire workspace. Every desk in this lineup integrates rack space directly into the design — so your interface, preamp, and processors live in the desk, not scattered around it.
From the compact Starter (perfect for small home studios and tight budgets) to the height-adjustable Tamagotchi sit/stand, the mid-century modern Midway with its built-in 12U floor rack, and the premium London 3 workstation — there's a Gear Hive desk for every studio size, style, and budget.
All desks are CNC-cut from A1 birch plywood with real birch edge banding, available in 15 premium stains, and handmade to order in Lodi, California. Ships in 1–2 weeks.

The Starter is Gear Hive's entry-level recording studio desk — purpose-built for home studio owners who want professional-quality furniture without the professional price tag. At 47" wide and 23" deep, it's compact enough for small rooms while still delivering a full studio setup: dual rack bays for your interface, preamp, or processor, a cable-managed desktop, and a solid, 3-rod, 28" hairpin leg base.
Two 2" grommets on the upper monitor shelf and two 3" cable holes on the main desktop keep your wiring clean and out of the way. An optional slide-out keyboard tray fits both a compact 23" keyboard-and-mouse combo or a full 39.25" 61-key controller. Available in rack sizes 2×2U, 2×3U, or 2×4U, or with no racks at all.
