Can you fit normal monitor arms? The space in the cable tray is tight but yes I fitted a normal monitor arm but I had to use a Drive Ratchet Tool to install it. If you don't have a tool like that, the worse case scenario is taking out the cable tray and installing the monitor arm without it first. Once you install the monitor arm, I don't see you needing to adjust it much...unless you're like me and switch things around all the time xD 2. Is that an Elgato Low profile mic? Yes, I installed that in the cable management tray with no problems - it just fits! 3. Carpet affected stability? Yes, I'm sure carpet is a lot less stable compared to other flooring. However, I compared the wobble with my other standing desks on carpet as well and came to the conclusion I had in the video. 4. What's the drawer I'm using?

Looks like the final production model is going to be great, and way too expensive for my nonexistent budget. 😅 Honestly, the only true criticism I have is for the monitor arm which is way too wimpy and considering their buyers tend to heavily lean towards the gamer side of users, they really should have known better than to even create something incapable of holding a big gaming monitor. Yes, monitors are getting thinner and lighter, but they're also getting bigger so that arm would only work for someone who needs a small monitor off to the side for whatever reason (and maybe they should market it for that use since it's very unobtrusive). Gamers and really anyone who does art, editing, even those who just need big monitors for other regular jobs aren't really going to be using those ultralight monitors quite yet, and those are generally the people who are going to be looking at buying this. I'm actually wondering how feasible it would be to put this desk on wheels. Bit of a scary thought but as long as the wheels lock and you don't try moving it while at max height, it might be okay? Would make things much easier to setup if it could. Though I'm actually mostly wondering because as a disabled person I always wonder if this kind of desk would work over a full zero gravity chair. Don't mind me. 😅 BTW, looks like you've also got yourself a good option for a loft bed there. Just needs a mattress, lol. Sexy desk display pose is on point too! 😂👍
Mine ended up coming in on time. They told me it would be delayed because the PC mount was delayed but I asked if they can ship the desk out first and they made an exception. Assembled it over the weekend and it is awesome! Just ordered 1 of the monitor arms to try that out as well.
Carpets are a stability killer, so the wobble you experience with the desk isnt accurate, wobble will drastically be reduced on hard floors. hope these helps.
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
It's an amazing model. I love fancy desks, and I think they're a great way to make your environment a much more functional place to work. I just ordered a Protractor Desk from Manhattan Home Design to replace my old metal desk and I think it's a great first step in revamping my work environment. Thanks for the review!
Love the Magnus Pro XL! Got it 2 days after ordering and this review is spot on. I originally came from the original Magnus and the size difference is amazing, and my only gripe is the PC mount isn't available until Late October!! Oh and I can also say that they did fix the tip top height wobble. It's there slightly but an improvement from what your review unit had. Awesome review as always Cheers!
Nice review. They have some nice things going on like the integrated power through the leg and cable management. I'd like to see more color choices available for the top than just black. Who doesn't like a nice walnut or wood look to their desk?
Honestly that may be pretty easy to modify. There are places that sell just the tops to desks. Secure it to the frame, which may involve some drilling, and voila!
this is really dope, I think Secretlab has really leveled up with this new desk, I love the integrated power cord and the cable management so much cool innovation. well done Secretlab awesome video bro.
I was so liking this but decided to go with the Mojo Desk , magnetic tray and wheels. I like to move my desk a lot to give me options and i can upgrade, unhook or hook up any accessories with ease.
Hoping they make an L extension for the sit/stand. 😅 I also wouldn't mind them creating idk maybe a magnetic backboard (kinda like a pegboard)... or a pegboard for their desks. For extra storage.
I'm 6'9" and at full height the desk does NOT wobble on hard floor. My issue is that desk top was damaged most likely in the warehouse. I sent photos but no response from secretlab.
9:12 can you use just one arm on the monitor stand, if you want? If so. this is a really cool feature that only some monitor arms have. Allows you to stack monitors with ease!
Maybe you could place some weights in the cable tidy area so it wobbles less when higher. its something they should of fixed considering the price. Great review! showed me bits on the desk that no other reviews mentioned. the Monitor arms strength is a massive issue some monitors are super heavy and they should sort that for sure!
This is literally the perfect desk with only only one thing missing which is the the ultra wide arm mount. This is just nit picking but they could’ve added a drawer accessory.
9:51 = Do they still include those cable channel covers in the set? I've assembled my desk, and I don't have it. I'm wondering if it was included in the set and I threw it away, or if they no longer provide it.
I have my Magnus Pro XL in house, but I can't use it yet since I need to move it upstairs and I can't do it alone. The standing mode makes me think that I won't be actually doing work on it while standing. But it might be good for some light things that requires not much touching, like voice chatting, recording something, etc.
When you desk rear is facing the wall you don't really need the rear cover though, do you? As a matter of fact you can red of the whole cable management assembly and make cable management in a more elegant way, than a huge metal box strapped to the back. Also unless you have extremely powerful PC build towers are long outdated and are a waste of space. You can build almost top config in ITX with zero issues and no noise.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊wavy all the way from Kenya!! Been thinking about getting a standing desk, and after your review, I think this is the best choice. Plus my budget fits just about right. Thank you so much, you just gained a sub!!
I like the cable management on it, makes easily to arrange every cable especially if u have new electronic to place on the desk. Thanks for the review by the way!🌊🌊
Absoluely brilliant video 👋👋🌊🌊 I finally started building my dream desk setup, this looks like something i'd one day love to buy when I can afford it xD thanks!
Nice design and build quality, but it seems they are waiting to accumulate pre-orders before sending to production. At this moment, you have to pre-purchase with an estimated shipping date of February 7th, 2023. I will grab an Ikea Uppspel instead, as it's in-stock and I can just drop by and pick up.
Love your videos and was hoping you would review this desk. I fell in love when I saw it was the exact size I've been wanting and the integrated power and the LAN solution they're working on is all really awesome. Really hope they can fix the small issues the wobbling in the final product as that is a big pain point for me, especially at higher positions being 6'3. Was originally gonna go with that new Ergonofis Sway because I love the color and material (soft touch) but I think this one has it beat in terms of the tech and cable management, especially since they make awesome chairs. Thanks again, and keep making great content! :)
Out of courisoity, when you do theses, would it not be better to let the audiance hear the volume / sound levels as the desk raises or lowers instead of music being played at a higher note?
Love it, hope to pick one up in the U.K. in a few months. My only gripe is the weedy monitor arm! Not much hope for my 38 widescreen 😢 Do a heavy duty arm, Secret Labs!
it's 220 lb minus the weight of the desktop, which is a little over 72.5 lb. The true load capacity is 192.5lb so you're quite a bit closer to the limit than you thought...
What boom arm is that? The one linked in the description is the elgato one but from other reviews their clamps dont fit in the cable management tray (eg. the screw at the bottom hits the tray and you cant clamp it down). Also, what was your previous monitor arm? Does that also fit in the cable management tray?
Pretty rare that I log in or comment but felt compelled to with this review. I'm in the market for a desk and this is the thoroughness I needed. Especially when you mention the monitor arm which is one of my concerns. I have a Samsung 34" curved screen. I need to check my weight but my ergotron arm holds it perfectly. Anyway, thanks for the thorough review 👍
I was super excited about this table, but the arm strength is very disappointing. I will still get the table, but will need a different brand for the arm.
great review, i have the Magnus pro and looking to get a 32" monitor and the same edifier G5000 speaker. my question is what monitor size you have ? to see if i'm going to have enough space on mine ? thanks

The wobbly is because of the carpet at a hight

How about other mounts, like the elgato LP arm? Wil they fit with the cable tray?
I just noticed your profile pic. I am wondering if you chose that pose with your lens covering your eye or did someone recommend it? Thanks!

My apex pro has zero wobble on my carpet
Mine done wobble on my carpet
Thanks for the tips 😂
exacrly
Remove carpet. Will fix 90% of the wobble
I'm a sucker for clean cables, so this is now my dream desk.

I can see your wobble source is more related to your carpet floor, try tiles or something solid.

Thank you for showing in detail with great angles on how to build the table.

I'm desk shopping right now and I don't know if I want to swing $1000 on this, but DANG does it look nice. Aces video as always, man! 🌊🌊
I was so liking this but decided to go with the Mojo Desk , magnetic tray and wheels. I like to move my desk a lot to give me options and i can upgrade, unhook or hook up any accessories with ease.
I just checked the site (Canada) and they are out of stock now, can't even pre-order anymore.

Love that table. Gonna get it soon ..
Best review so far

Great preview, thanks! 🌊
🌊Great content. Will consider purchasing this desk, thanks to all the information you have provided.
Thanks for the review. 🌊
I saw this desk today for the first time, and I'm going to buy it. It's a gamers wet dream :)
Nice review, can't wait till mine ships 🌊

Great to see this desk. I was already looking into this one for ,y new study/computer room.
🌊 🌊 🌊 nice video like always
Sweet set up bro, quick question, what laptop stand are you using, that thing is slick
Fantastic video! Thank you! :) 🌊
Awsome setup!!!🌊🌊🌊
simple elegant great video ...
Glad you liked it!!

this is funny really nice review 🤣🤣🤣😂
Would really love to know if you can use other monitor mounts on it??
Love the cable management
Great review Mike, would love Secretlabs to send one to test out!
currently have the original magnus but i am definitely eyeing this one, great review brotha keep it up
On point review, nice !
Mike that's a cool desk you've got there🤞
New to your channel. Great video! 🌊
Great alternative to the pricier desks. Excellent review.👏 🌊
🌊 Great video matey. I just slapped some dosh on one of these desks.
9:51 = Do they still include those cable channel covers in the set? I've assembled my desk, and I don't have it. I'm wondering if it was included in the set and I threw it away, or if they no longer provide it.
Stunning reviewing 👍🏼 may i ask where did you get this wood cabinet with black top the one next to your desk i like it 😍
🌊 thanks for the review it was helpful
Love this. Thanks for the review on them again.
If they kept the 4 leg design for the extra stability it would have been perfect imo
great video Mike> looks good 🌊
I have my Magnus Pro XL in house, but I can't use it yet since I need to move it upstairs and I can't do it alone.
The standing mode makes me think that I won't be actually doing work on it while standing. But it might be good for some light things that requires not much touching, like voice chatting, recording something, etc.

Thank you for the video. I’m looking @ getting the Batman edition w/ the L shape addition

Also unless you have extremely powerful PC build towers are long outdated and are a waste of space. You can build almost top config in ITX with zero issues and no noise.
Out of curiosity, for the ultra wide monitor fiends out there, are there any recommended monitor arms that work well with this desk?
🌊 great review Matt! They thought about almost everything when designing this desk! 🌊
🌊 awesome video I am looking to potentially upgrade my desk and I woul chose the xl version. The cable managment looks so neat. grat vid brotha!
glad you liked the vid man!
If the production version fixes some of the nit picks you pointed out, i will 100% be getting one of these once they're out. This is so dope.
🌊 I loved the way you tested the weight. I was so afraid for you! Edge of the seat that whole time. Otherwise great video!

Absoluely brilliant video 👋👋🌊🌊 I finally started building my dream desk setup, this looks like something i'd one day love to buy when I can afford it xD thanks!
nice job Mike, thanks for the review
Great desk but if's 36" depth and a lot wider would be better. I have a triple display(49"X2 and 50"TV) setup along with a pair of studio monitors.
Nice design and build quality, but it seems they are waiting to accumulate pre-orders before sending to production. At this moment, you have to pre-purchase with an estimated shipping date of February 7th, 2023. I will grab an Ikea Uppspel instead, as it's in-stock and I can just drop by and pick up.
Súper wave!!,…. Excelent review. Thanks… 🌊
I am sold! 🌊
Hello, Congratulations. Cool. I am impressed. 👍👏👏
Great Video! Were you able to use other monitor arm for ultrawide?
Sick desk
I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and gives me lots of ideas to incorporate in my set up🌊🌊

They do have heavy duty monitor arms..

its the elgato low profile :) It works but it's a super tight space for it!
hey i would love to see the total tour of your house in some future video
Pretty rare that I log in or comment but felt compelled to with this review. I'm in the market for a desk and this is the thoroughness I needed.

Have they fixed the wobble pertinent with the new desks?
just wondering if putting a boom arm for a mic on the left/right side of the desk mat would would destroy it?
I was super excited about this table, but the arm strength is very disappointing. I will still get the table, but will need a different brand for the arm.
A brilliant review. Why would you need the monitor arms? What is the max pc case size the rack can hold?
great review, i have the Magnus pro and looking to get a 32" monitor and the same edifier G5000 speaker. my question is what monitor size you have ? to see if i'm going to have enough space on mine ? thanks
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I went to order one today but they apparently aren't available until like May!! :(
🌊🌊 I wonder if they upgrade it yet.
I have cats, one likes to chew cables, this desk seems like a great way to combat that
what is the depth of just the cable tray cover only? Cause I think that accounts to the depth table size as well.
🌊🌊🌊 awesome... I hope I will be able to afford this someday 🥺
Good job 👍
loved the video! have you ever tried out Omnidesk ascent wildwood at all?
Great video review, Mike!...Does Magnus sell a four-leg desk to prevent wobble?
