Any suggestions?

My back hurts just looking at the height of your decks and mixer!
You could add legs to your unit to raise everything up, or add an additional slim unit/riser on top (as DJ Ollie has done here or u/pascalack has done here ) which would also allow you to move your CD player(?) and other stuff at the back to under the decks.
You could then push the whole unit back and have more space in your room.
If you can afford to swap out the mixer for a Serato compatible mixer, you could go DVS, and loose the controller.
(You could use the “more space” thing to justify the cost of a new mixer to your other half!)
Good shout. Thanks for the links. Look good, will look at sorting that.
I've got my turntables on a Kallax shelve just like this. There's a reason why they're so popular for DJing. I'm 5'11" and have no issues with it. It's still tall enough that you don't need to lean over. The picture does make it look shorter as the camera is pointing down though.
At 6'1" I prefer a table height of 40". Elbows should be at 90° when touching the platter
Amen to this… I’m almost as tall as you… it should depend on your height. Clubs are always too low for me lol
I’m the same height as you and find I need my decks around 1M high. Those decks look much lower than the door handle. (Door handles are normally around 80-90 cm high.)
Edit: IKEA website tells me that Kallax is 77cm high.
It's still tall enough that you don't need to lean over.
My arms would be stretched.
kalax is 77cm, a mixer is ~9cm. 86cm from ground.
I think I would hate touching knobs that are further away. Might be fine for people who are smaller.
