The desk is centered at 78.25/45 3/8" edge to edge X approx. 38% of 53.39" to ears
The desk is set up lengthwise on the non-door wall (because it sounds better here, not because it actually should).
The ceiling is blown acoustic "Popcorn."
The floor is thick padded carpet wall to wall.

Matched with AutoMarine Grey and Black Fabrics.
