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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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! :)
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.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊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!!
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!
Great review. Love the setup. Did you try your other monitor arm? Want to know if I can use my existing dual arm with c clamp or would I be stuck to buy theris?
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.
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 👍
Which one is that chair ? seems comfy as hell. Edit: Nvm xDD i just saw the link on the description. Btw great review !!! I had few questions about the desk but with your explanations they were cleared 👍👍
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.
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?
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...
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!
Very nice review! Hopefully, Secret Labs has fixed the wobble and LED Display issue(s) that you mentioned. In any case I have ordered the XL and some accessories- looks like February is when I will get all of it. Subscribed!
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.
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
Excellent review. I love the desk. I have the Uplift desk with the bamboo top. Love how the cords are hidden as well as the monitor arms. The price is great, however, I suspect the price can get a little higher when you add accessories. All in all a very thorough review. Thank you.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
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?
I do like me some Secret Lab. Their Titan is literally the only chair (Herman Miller included) that doesn't hurt my back. Also what headphone amp are you using? 🌊

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!
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.
I'm a sucker for clean cables, so this is now my dream desk.
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.
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 can see your wobble source is more related to your carpet floor, try tiles or something solid.
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! 🌊🌊
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.

whats the max width for the PC mount?

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

appreciate the video! you highlighting all the little details made this an easier purchase. A comment, like, and using the affiliate link as a thanks
2:40 you can never be too old to have fun 👌🏼
I saw this desk today for the first time, and I'm going to buy it. It's a gamers wet dream :)
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!
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!🌊🌊
I just checked the site (Canada) and they are out of stock now, can't even pre-order anymore.
never too old for fun with a friend.
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!
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.
🌊great review on the magnus table, watching from all the other side of the world in Kenya....
Awesome desk review! For sure helped in my research on what standing desk I'm going to be going with! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Would really love to know if you can use other monitor mounts on it??
finale am sonntag junge, bist du hyped?
One of the best videos on the desk!
🌊Great content. Will consider purchasing this desk, thanks to all the information you have provided.
Stunning reviewing 👍🏼 may i ask where did you get this wood cabinet with black top the one next to your desk i like it 😍
Love that table. Gonna get it soon ..
What is the cool hexagon wall light feature from? thanks!! I'm going to watch more of your videos!!
Out of curiosity, for the ultra wide monitor fiends out there, are there any recommended monitor arms that work well with this desk?
🌊 Great video matey. I just slapped some dosh on one of these desks.
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!

Great review. Love the setup. Did you try your other monitor arm? Want to know if I can use my existing dual arm with c clamp or would I be stuck to buy theris?
Great alternative to the pricier desks. Excellent review.👏 🌊
I have cats, one likes to chew cables, this desk seems like a great way to combat that
🌊 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!
currently have the original magnus but i am definitely eyeing this one, great review brotha keep it up
New to your channel. Great video! 🌊
Great review Mike, would love Secretlabs to send one to test out!

🌊 I loved the way you tested the weight. I was so afraid for you! Edge of the seat that whole time. Otherwise great video!
Which one is that chair ? seems comfy as hell.
Edit: Nvm xDD i just saw the link on the description.
Btw great review !!! I had few questions about the desk but with your explanations they were cleared 👍👍
If they kept the 4 leg design for the extra stability it would have been perfect imo
Nice review, can't wait till mine ships 🌊
🌊 great review Matt! They thought about almost everything when designing this desk! 🌊
Thank you so much for this review. As someone on the search for the perfect desk for my office this in depth review is really awesome.
Glad it was helpful! :)

its the elgato low profile :) It works but it's a super tight space for it!
I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and gives me lots of ideas to incorporate in my set up🌊🌊
great video! I am actually debating getting the same desk and you were very informational and definitely helped me in making a decision on my desk!
Speaker name please!!!🤩🤩
Thank you for the video. I’m looking @ getting the Batman edition w/ the L shape addition
Great preview, thanks! 🌊
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I went to order one today but they apparently aren't available until like May!! :(
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...
Love the look and cable management on this, but the wobble has me really worried, hopefully it is addressed. 🌊
Fantastic video! Thank you! :) 🌊
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!
They do have heavy duty monitor arms..
Very nice review! Hopefully, Secret Labs has fixed the wobble and LED Display issue(s) that you mentioned. In any case I have ordered the XL and some accessories- looks like February is when I will get all of it. Subscribed!
hey i would love to see the total tour of your house in some future video
Love the cable management
A brilliant review. Why would you need the monitor arms? What is the max pc case size the rack can hold?
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.
Mike that's a cool desk you've got there🤞
🌊Nice review brah!
Great video review, Mike!...Does Magnus sell a four-leg desk to prevent wobble?
You really have a voice for silent movies. You should try! :D
🌊 🌊 🌊 nice video like always
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
Thanks for the review. 🌊
great video Mike> looks good 🌊
Nice review Bro! I hope I can buy a Magnus someday. ☠️💸 Hehehe For now I will enjoy my SL Titan Evo 2022 🥲
Awsome setup!!!🌊🌊🌊
Have they fixed the wobble pertinent with the new desks?
nice job Mike, thanks for the review
🌊 thanks for the review it was helpful
Love this. Thanks for the review on them again.
First off amazing review. Very detailed. I do have a question is that a Deity VO-7U your using? If so what are your thoughts?
Best review so far
simple elegant great video ...
Glad you liked it!!
Excellent review. I love the desk. I have the Uplift desk with the bamboo top. Love how the cords are hidden as well as the monitor arms. The price is great, however, I suspect the price can get a little higher when you add accessories. All in all a very thorough review. Thank you.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
You suspect that addition increases numbers? What a revolutionary hypothesis.
Awesome video 🌊
loved the video! have you ever tried out Omnidesk ascent wildwood at all?
I really the concept of this desk. The cable management is top-notch but the wobble ... oohhh; that makes me worried. Anyways, another great review 🌊
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?
What chair do you use?
I do like me some Secret Lab. Their Titan is literally the only chair (Herman Miller included) that doesn't hurt my back. Also what headphone amp are you using? 🌊
its the HiFiMan EF400 :)
On point review, nice !
