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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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?
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!
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊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'm just about to pull the trigger on buying this desk, except for one nagging question... does anyone know how well the desk works with third party monitor arms? I have concerns about support for a 49 inch ultrawide monitor on an arm with this desk. If someone can speak first hand as to the experience with using third party arms and 34+ inch ultrawide monitors with this desk, I'd appreciate it :)
@@texas_x I ended up buying it anyway. From all I've read, it's largely going to vary on each vendor's individual design, and I did see at least one setup online that included a 49 ultrawide on an arm. So it IS possible 😊 Only downside in all of this? I have to wait 2 months for the desk to arrive 😢
@@TheRealDeal_81 I am on the verge of pulling the trigger and starting my wait for delivery too. Reply back when yours arrives and let me know if your monitor arm ends up working and which one you have. I am team ultrawide too!
@@TheRealDeal_81 Mine is expected to come in about a week although I won't be surprised if it's delayed since it seems like everyone's is. Did you end up getting yours? How delayed did it end up being?
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!
Great video Mike! Always look forward to your Secretlab takes. Admittedly, when I was testing it and saw how low it went, I immediately thought of you 😂
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.
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!
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 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.
Can you please confirm if the power cable socket can be switched from left or right legs? Assuming the legs can be used left or right sides of the desk interchangeably. Would be pretty big for considering positioning of my desk closer to a power outlet on my wall.
Can you show us? How do you mount your Elgato Wave LP back on the desk? I checked with people and search online. It says impossible to mount it on the back due to the mounting kit they have long screws on it.
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.
Have you got the exact model of that BenQ monitor? I want to see how much it weighs compared to my LG Ultrawide as I want a monitor arm for my Magnus PRO XL
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 👍👍
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.
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 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!🌊🌊
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! :)

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.
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.

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

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.
One of the best videos on the desk!
what is the depth of just the cable tray cover only? Cause I think that accounts to the depth table size as well.
this is funny really nice review 🤣🤣🤣😂

for the pc holder does it have a mesh on the bottom for pcs that have fans on the bottom or even top

I saw this desk today for the first time, and I'm going to buy it. It's a gamers wet dream :)
Out of curiosity, for the ultra wide monitor fiends out there, are there any recommended monitor arms that work well with this desk?
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I went to order one today but they apparently aren't available until like May!! :(
🌊great review on the magnus table, watching from all the other side of the world in Kenya....
🌊Great content. Will consider purchasing this desk, thanks to all the information you have provided.
Great preview, thanks! 🌊
Would really love to know if you can use other monitor mounts on it??

what is the weight of the desk alone? ☺️

I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and gives me lots of ideas to incorporate in my set up🌊🌊
how does the monitor mount work? Can it mount ANY monitor?
Orded the MAGNUS XL in February............. and i have not received the desk. Its taking a long time.
Awesome video 🌊
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.
🌊
Great to see this desk. I was already looking into this one for ,y new study/computer room.
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.
just wondering if putting a boom arm for a mic on the left/right side of the desk mat would would destroy it?
Have they fixed the wobble pertinent with the new 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!

Is there a dual vertical monitor mount that would work with this desk?
What leg rest is that? @ 8:44
how do you think a 48" OLED and 32" 16:9 would fit on the pro xl?
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?
Can you please let me know what power strip/extension cord thing that you were using? I would like to get for myself
Great review Mike, would love Secretlabs to send one to test out!
🌊 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!
Can this table use hotas mounts
What chair do you use?
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.

currently have the original magnus but i am definitely eyeing this one, great review brotha keep it up
Love this. Thanks for the review on them again.
Great alternative to the pricier desks. Excellent review.👏 🌊
Any idea as to why the desk is now a pre order after a lot of people have got it?

Glad it was helpful! :)
Do you have any update yet after 1 year of use ? im kind wanting to pull the trigger i just want more feedback , these things arent cheap at all :D
How is the wobble a year later?
On point review, nice !
Have you got the exact model of that BenQ monitor? I want to see how much it weighs compared to my LG Ultrawide as I want a monitor arm for my Magnus PRO XL

Best review so far
What's the foot rest at 8:43?
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 👍👍
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!
What kind of laptop stand do you use?
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.
Mike that's a cool desk you've got there🤞
what size is your monitor??
35 inches
would a UK plug work this desk
What’s the blue mousepad?
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
Stunning reviewing 👍🏼 may i ask where did you get this wood cabinet with black top the one next to your desk i like it 😍
🌊 Great video matey. I just slapped some dosh on one of these desks.
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!🌊🌊
so im upgrading my whole set up and i was wondering if the case mount would be compatible with the HYTE 60 mid tower
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.

Hey mike quick question, would the monitor arm handle MSI Optix G241V E2 23.8 Inch 75Hz FHD IPS Gaming Monitor ?
