For those always concerned with keeping an aesthetically pleasing desktop, the Platform:6 was designed with that particular need in mind. It offers a six-foot wide surface area, with enough room to fit a PC and peripherals, with a built-in RapidRoute wire management tray, cable routing accessories, and an in-desk storage cubby that keeps everything out of sight for a seemingly clean and open setup. There are even optional desk extensions you can choose from to increase this surface area that come with side pegboards as well. All desks include a movable power strip with USB-A and USB-C ports.
One of the models sports a modular rail system at the back of the desk, which is ideal for mounting meeting or streaming gear like cameras, lights, and microphones, and it even utilizes a universal standard aluminum T-Channel crossbar for compatibility with hundreds of aftermarket attachments and accessories as well.
With multimonitor setups becoming more and more common nowadays, you’ll find that every Platform:6 features dual-monitor arms as a standard inclusion, allowing you to mount up to two 32-inch monitors or a single ultrawide 34-inch monitor.
There is also a special Elgato Multi-Frame option that attaches to the base rail system to more than double your rail space and provide far greater mounting options – included in the pre-configured Platform:6 Creator Edition, or it can be selected as an add-on through the online configurator.
Platform:6 Modular Desk is now available for purchase
