You got balls my dude! Everybody that does desk reviewers have my utmost respect. Cable management is like a 3-4 hour pain in my butt. Once done I ain't doing it again until the following year:).love the desk my man. You are so blessed. BTW..you have a coil cable ..where is yours? And love the foot stool
If you put those bumper things in a horizontal position instead of vertical would that be sufficient to keep the desk stable? or a combination of vertical and horizontal.
I got the Magnus Pro, and I cannot believe nobody has beat them to this. The build quality, ease of use, cable management, how well everything is thought out down to the building process/packaging... it's incredible. I always thought of secret labs at the meh "gaming chair" company like DX Racer was back in the day. Their desks are on another level.
DUDEEE - Watching from the UK (Malaysia born), recently got my first ever gaming PC (White), been looking at loads of different desks. Price ranges between £75-150, but the way you reviewed this has made me really want this so much. Long term and time wise sorting out cables etc, this is legit a no brainer. Awesome vid
Received mine at the weekend. Can confirm that the wobble is still a thing, I have a skirting board at the bottom of the wall so it wont go flush to the wall. I have to stack the 4 bumpers together meaning I need like another 3 packs of them.
I like when gaming desk is not too much odd shape like z or t or whatever legs they called. This looks simple but great! The magnetic system is awesome and smart.
How is the desk for you now? Does it wobble much? I need one for my G29 racing wheel so that it doesn't wobble the desk all over the place when I clamp it down to it lol
imo they should make it height adjustable and make it more stable (thicker legs could be a solution) if they incorporate these things into the desk it would basically be the ultimate desk
if you look at the bottom of the legs there are special adjusters to fix that. you do not need to push it against the wall. it is one of, if not the best desks in terms of design. it is not a complete review
how big is your monitor? getting either the new Alienware QD-OLED or Samsung when it's out. 34 ultrawide. what I'm not sure about is if i could possibly fit having a galaxy tab 8 plus standing next to it
At over $400 and the claims made by the company, it shouldn't wobble near as much. I really think this thing will tank with most users. That wobble is killer, and not everyone wants their desk pushed against the wall. I was really excited when they announced this as I love their chairs, but their announcement was a huge disappointment. It's worth mentioning that the bumpers, which appear to be the only effective way to address the wobble are sold separately and have not yet been released. Despite the desk only being in the pre-order stage, they have already sold out of the other accessories shown in the video that you would need to make the most of the desk. Big letdown, but I hope it starts a trend in the industry of rethinking/re-designing the PC desk.
I’d be putting it flush against a wall (unlike some this video) so wobbling wouldn’t be an issue. I understand some people may not do the same though. Although I’ve yet to use a desk that doesn’t wobble when I bang my chair into it while getting into W comfortable position.
I would put it flush against my wall too....if I could xD I think many people are going to have this problem and it's very important to consider. It's true, most desks wobble when you hit it, but not as much as I experienced in the video. Hope they come up with a fix!

i see alot of people saying that the desk is poor because it wobbles but, if you look at the bottom of the legs there are special adjusters that are built in the desk to fix that. you do not need to push it against the wall. it is one of, if not the best desks in terms of design. this video is an incomplete and false review without showcasing these adjusters. plz fix the vid if u can -just trying to help
For the price they should include all the accessories, the other problem it haves is you can't really use monitor as that clamp down because of the way they made the backside. Is it really worth the price that went you take all that in consideration tho?
Those bumpers seem like such a crucial piece when this desk is so unstable and yet you can't even order them yet. Also, I'm rather disappointed that this desk lacks a raised platform off the ground for your gaming pc so that you can use most of the rear desk space for 2-3 monitors. Also, said platform would likely give this desk a bit of stability at least on whatever side it's mounted to.
I'm 5'8 too and I know EXACTLY what you mean. I settled for a keyboard tray (Seville Airlift 360) just so I could lower the height of my chair, it's been great
I have a secret labs chair. I have a not secret labs desk. The height thing is bologna. The chair has an air piston for height adjust and adjustable arms. The arm height and desk height will match if you choose regardless the desk you use.
Yup, I have the Linnmon and 2 Alex drawers. With furniture pads between the drawers and table it's rock solid. I also love that it's modular so there's no having to periodically tighten screws or hearing metal creak. And for $200 you won't find a desk with more table space and storage. I totally get now why it's such a popular desk.
👍 props for putting your full weight on the desk. Desk is a bit too small (not deep enough) and wobbly for my liking but I'm eyeing the Magpad for my more substantial workbench with a metal top. Do you think the Magpad would work fine on a larger metal surface?
The easiest and most effective cable management is to put a matching false back behind the desk and just let all the wires hang. you won't see no wires ever including the outlet. This is what I did and it looks pretty impressive. You should run your keyboard wire straight back for cleaner look
Been following your vids for awhile, great work on the content. Your review replaces any need for SL’s own marketing. I am sold, your affil link used ;) Keep up the hustle!
I commented on Unbox Therapies video about this, but along with the height for you shorter folks lol, they shoukd make different lengths. Right now, its a 59" desk. They should make a 48" and a 72" as well. Hell, make an 84" for people who have the room for it.
Looks awesome and im interested. Only concern is what about clamping a monitor mount to the back of the desk ? How would that work with that tray being there ??
Very nice! I'll probably get it and make it my gaming desk. Right now I'm just using my Enterprise Electric StudioDesk as both my music work station and gaming/streaming.
Thank you for the subjective review. I got to admit this desk is pretty slick, but if you buy all the accessories this desk can be a bit expensive. Even though GOT really is not thing anymore, I would like to see a GOT desk mat to go with my Secret lab's chair. Excellent review.
An L shaped desk as well. Perhaps two tables combined together. This would be an epic battle station 😎. For someone building a 3 monitor. Epic battle station / work, or gaming build.. Thank you for posting this video 📹..
I received the desk (in Singapore) but then I realized that there is no Power Extension Cord included in the bundle when I even bought Cable stealth accessories.
Hey Mike! Loved the video, due to get my chair very shortly, but was extremely intrigued, I can't seem to find the gel arm rests any where, do they come with the chair or do you have the link to purchase these? Thank you really appreciate it 👍.
Thank you Brian!! Btw you're very consistent at commenting in my videos, just wana let you know that I always look forward to seeing you here and I appreciate it a lot bro!
So I see that the desk says preorder, think it'll come sooner than the August date? It said the same thing for my Amber chair and that shipped the next day (a month before the estimated shipment). Think it'll do the same?
my gaming desk cougar mars is more stable but the rgb on it isnt hide it can hurt your eyes directly unfortunatly but im thinking to change it by the secretlab desk
Will wait for revisions on the desk. I need a long table like 180-200cm i dont want my system unit on the floor and i have large speaker monitors lol Also can you confirm if the desk can accommodate monitor arms?
It can. Check out Secret Labs Facebook page (possibly their TH-cam channel also). Their video of when the announced the desk showed them using monitor arms on it.

Great vid Mike. Can you share the price and if it’s available in Europe?
What are the height between the leg and the desktoptop where then armrest are going in ?
If you put those bumper things in a horizontal position instead of vertical would that be sufficient to keep the desk stable? or a combination of vertical and horizontal.
Do they not make the desk anymore? I can't seem to find it
What I like about this desk , is all the fresh ideas that I can incorporate into the build of my new plywood desk .

Read my mind. Been planning a really slick build myself and the first thought I had was "Well I'm stealing that cable management box"
I got the Magnus Pro, and I cannot believe nobody has beat them to this. The build quality, ease of use, cable management, how well everything is thought out down to the building process/packaging... it's incredible.

Oh god, just a few days ago you finally had your setup the way you wanted!! Appreciate the effort that goes into making the video honestly 👌
hahaha I appreciate you noticing that my friend! :))
Received mine at the weekend. Can confirm that the wobble is still a thing, I have a skirting board at the bottom of the wall so it wont go flush to the wall. I have to stack the 4 bumpers together meaning I need like another 3 packs of them.
Probably the best gaming desk I have seen this far. My only critique is that the legs lack additional stability reinforcement.
Love your content because it helps moms like me find the best options.
I like when gaming desk is not too much odd shape like z or t or whatever legs they called. This looks simple but great! The magnetic system is awesome and smart.
Oh man, you're right! I was researching "gaming desks" and they're all Z shaped...who started that trend?? xD
I would really love to see this desk in white. Really make that RGB pop.
How is the desk for you now? Does it wobble much? I need one for my G29 racing wheel so that it doesn't wobble the desk all over the place when I clamp it down to it lol
imo they should make it height adjustable and make it more stable (thicker legs could be a solution)

I'm glad I watched this video, cause that wobble is a dealbreaker for me. Love all the innovative features though, hopefully v2 will be rock solid

You killed it in this video Mike! Job well done!
It's wobbly and you have to run the wires over the edge of the desk, I already have one of those!
I was debating to get an ApexDesk Elite or Arozzi Arena but since I'm wanting a SL Titan in the future, this desk just took the cake
I'm glad this desk didn't take the look of the other Z shaped looking gaming desks out there haha
🔥🔥🔥🔥 great video bro 😎 new desk looks dope.
thanks bro, very glad you liked the setup! :))
Very informative! Thank you. Just ordered one 🙂
how big is your monitor? getting either the new Alienware QD-OLED or Samsung when it's out. 34 ultrawide. what I'm not sure about is if i could possibly fit having a galaxy tab 8 plus standing next to it
where can I get the foam? and is it removable without damaging the wall ? Thank you !
Thanks for the pricing, dimensions etc. How on earth you have an unboxing and light review is beyond me.

This desk looks incredible wana get this even though I don’t need it 🤣
Gotta ask, what are those wall panels you have up, those look so good!
Awesome video!
Nice vid man, did you need to order the light strip or did you get it with the desk?
Every time you touch that desk it wobbles all over the place. For this price, that thing should be rock solid.
He didn't adjust it it comes with a tool since not all floors are even
reason for me not to buy it .... its so annoying when ur screen wobbles around just by an unintentionally push against the table...
Go on the website or look at the product video... They show you how to level the desk because each leg is able to be slightly adjusted.
He hadn't adjusted the desk at all. It's why it's wobbly 😅
he keeps hitting his hand on the side of the monitor...

So far it seeing like a nice desk. We shall see when the long-term review comes out.
yeuup, time will tell! :)

Is it really worth the price that went you take all that in consideration tho?
Alright love your video you actually put it to the test unlike other reviews I seen
Thanks Nick, very glad you like my video style ;)
Very precise on describing the product. I will be in the market for a table and i think i just found it. Great review thank you!!!
Great video!
Small question though, would a monitor arm cause a problem?
Those bumpers seem like such a crucial piece when this desk is so unstable and yet you can't even order them yet. Also, I'm rather disappointed that this desk lacks a raised platform off the ground for your gaming pc so that you can use most of the rear desk space for 2-3 monitors. Also, said platform would likely give this desk a bit of stability at least on whatever side it's mounted to.
I'm one of the guys that needs to be able to lower my desk... I'm 5' 8" and currently need a foot rest
I think you're gonna be ok if you're already using a foot rest ;)
I'm 5'8 too and I know EXACTLY what you mean. I settled for a keyboard tray (Seville Airlift 360) just so I could lower the height of my chair, it's been great
@@SynysterCondom Glad I'm not the only one🙌🏼
Get a omnidesk
I have a secret labs chair. I have a not secret labs desk. The height thing is bologna. The chair has an air piston for height adjust and adjustable arms. The arm height and desk height will match if you choose regardless the desk you use.
Whoa 😳 man! Mike this is awesome 👏 I really loved how simple build is. 😍😍😍 black and red!!! And that leather Matte is nice!!!
thanks kris!!! saw all the fire emojis on IG too, YOU'RE AWESOME!!
Its a nice desk, but a wee bit wobbly to be honest. The traditional ikea setup with 2 alex drawers and countertop will not wobble like that.
Yup, I have the Linnmon and 2 Alex drawers. With furniture pads between the drawers and table it's rock solid. I also love that it's modular so there's no having to periodically tighten screws or hearing metal creak. And for $200 you won't find a desk with more table space and storage. I totally get now why it's such a popular desk.
If it was cheaper it was a definite order by me, i am gonna stick to my Ikea Bekant for sure...
I subbed the second you said, "What do you guys think?" and posed. Very funny.
That's a pretty cool concept, I like that you can get the magnetic 🧲 accessories.
Hey Collin! Yeee the magnetic accessories make it the best part of the desk xD plus they look good...it's all about them looks xD
Just ordered mine with every add on they make and got the dark knight desk Matt for it and even the dark Accessory bundle
👍 props for putting your full weight on the desk. Desk is a bit too small (not deep enough) and wobbly for my liking but I'm eyeing the Magpad for my more substantial workbench with a metal top. Do you think the Magpad would work fine on a larger metal surface?
As long as it's metal, it should work! Make sure the desk is bigger than the pad though
The easiest and most effective cable management is to put a matching false back behind the desk and just let all the wires hang. you won't see no wires ever including the outlet. This is what I did and it looks pretty impressive. You should run your keyboard wire straight back for cleaner look
thanks for the great tip!!
Great video, honest review and subscribed. I would like to find out how strong the magnetic desk mat is and does it affect devices?
hey aisul, actually it wont really affect any devices that you put around. But it do affect wireless charger if you put bedside it!
Love your desk setup! I’m waiting for my desk to arrive. Curious how big your desk is? 48,60 or 72”?
I bought this desk after watching your video, thanx Mike!
Been following your vids for awhile, great work on the content. Your review replaces any need for SL’s own marketing. I am sold, your affil link used ;) Keep up the hustle!
Great vid, but do you know how to hide the cables of non wireless keyboard and mouse?
can't really hide them completely, but you can guide them with the anchors as i showed xD
this desk is pretty dope
I commented on Unbox Therapies video about this, but along with the height for you shorter folks lol, they shoukd make different lengths. Right now, its a 59" desk. They should make a 48" and a 72" as well. Hell, make an 84" for people who have the room for it.
Hey very useful review.
What is you monitor size? then I can imagine it all better thx.
Looks awesome and im interested. Only concern is what about clamping a monitor mount to the back of the desk ? How would that work with that tray being there ??
Great video. I was looking at this SL Magnus desk when your vid popped up! Just a quick question: can this desk take on a monitor/ laptop arm mount?
Glad you liked the vid! you could attach monitor arms in the middle area of the desk where the cable management thing opens up
How stable is it once leveled?
Nice review man! Question, how wide are the magnetic leg sleeves? Im plan to order those for my non magnus desk.
That wobble at 10:38 was scary they definently need to work on better stability
Very nice! I'll probably get it and make it my gaming desk. Right now I'm just using my Enterprise Electric StudioDesk as both my music work station and gaming/streaming.
🔥🔥🔥 awesome dude! btw send me a DM of your setup on IG I wana check it out!
Just checked out the website... The table seems to be rather expensive and it isn't even height adjustable at all!?
man...if only it was a electric standing desk eh? xD
in summary, wobbly metal desk.
Thank you for the subjective review. I got to admit this desk is pretty slick, but if you buy all the accessories this desk can be a bit expensive. Even though GOT really is not thing anymore, I would like to see a GOT desk mat to go with my Secret lab's chair. Excellent review.

Thanks Michael!! :) 🔥🔥🔥
Great info.
Thank you as always👍
you're very welcome my friend! :)
Great video Mike! Sweet setup!
Thanks Aaron!! :) glad you liked the setup!
super review, love the details you provided. the desk is indeed super wobbly... 10:40
I received the desk (in Singapore) but then I realized that there is no Power Extension Cord included in the bundle when I even bought Cable stealth accessories.
Hey Mike! Loved the video, due to get my chair very shortly, but was extremely intrigued, I can't seem to find the gel arm rests any where, do they come with the chair or do you have the link to purchase these? Thank you really appreciate it 👍.
hey bud they're sold separately but they're still in development atm!
I hope they make mats to match the chairs... i got the charcoal blue fabric chair, and i'm super interested in these desks, but i want it to maattcchh
oh man, you can bet that they will do that!! xD
Great video man😁, can't wait for the update video 👍👍👍👍👍
glad you liked the vid bro!
Awesome review Mike!
Thanks Mark!! :)
Once put up against the wall, is the wobble still significant? And is it a deal breaker?
Great video as usual mike
thank you nick!! :) btw we are almost at 100k!! thanks for sticking with me in every video!!
@@MikeWat np :)
Wow I'm actually really surprised at the price. I was expecting a price tag well over $1,000.
Yeah, it's actually reasonably priced, although I would like to see it in different colors. Maybe white, gunmetal, or even like a brushed steel.
@4:14 you open it up incorrectly. The documents clearly state to open from the sides because you can pitch or break your fingers. Be careful!
great review. thx so much 👍
Another excellent video, way to go bro!👍
Thank you Brian!! Btw you're very consistent at commenting in my videos, just wana let you know that I always look forward to seeing you here and I appreciate it a lot bro!
Your wallpaper is great, how can i get it?
try wall mounting the screen to avoid the wobble.
Best desk setup so far i ever seen. But i cant buy it because its expensive for me 😢
glad you liked the setup bro👍
I like your review it's informative
Great review and nice desk but that price tag and the additional charges for the accessories made me nope right out.
your videos have a lot of personility keep it up.
thank you very much that means a lot! :)
such a great review, subscribed immediately
You can get an IKEA setup that is 10 times sturdier and customizable for equal or less money.
So I see that the desk says preorder, think it'll come sooner than the August date? It said the same thing for my Amber chair and that shipped the next day (a month before the estimated shipment). Think it'll do the same?
Gotta love that league of legends wallpaper
Oh yeeee you noticed!! :)
Hello, good review! May I know the width of the desk that excludes the Storage box?
came from IG. Great review Mike! I want that desk too.
Hey Paolo! Thanks for dropping by my friend!! glad you liked the video!
LED strip has not been in stock since day one. Chip shortage? 🤔
After 3 years using the desk; what is your impression now?
Mine was shipped with 3 front legs. Hopefully support sends a rear replacement leg ASAP 😕
watching him sitting on the desk gives me anxiety 😭. still a good desk
" its a very solid desk " ... " its quite wobbly "
I believe i said "the desk mat is very solid" xD
my gaming desk cougar mars is more stable but the rgb on it isnt hide it can hurt your eyes directly unfortunatly but im thinking to change it by the secretlab desk
would it be possible to attach a monitor arm to this desk?
you could attach monitor arms in the middle area of the desk where the cable management thing opens up
It really looks nice
Not gonna lie. My $40 desk from ikea is my favorite desk I’ve ever had.
good good :) those bekant desks are great for the $$
Will wait for revisions on the desk. I need a long table like 180-200cm i dont want my system unit on the floor and i have large speaker monitors lol
