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?

The wobbly is because of the carpet at a hight

[@ChibiChula]

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! 😂👍

[@KaBe88NL]

How about other mounts, like the elgato LP arm? Wil they fit with the cable tray?

[@SaralinaLove]

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!

[@JulianBocchinfuso]

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.

[@aLeXxFeLiXx]

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.

[@NFLfan77]

My apex pro has zero wobble on my carpet

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

Mine done wobble on my carpet

[@ReviewswBryz]

Thanks for the tips 😂

[@FirstLast-pr2pj]

exacrly

[@MrUneatable]

Remove carpet. Will fix 90% of the wobble

[@markoboychuk]

I'm a sucker for clean cables, so this is now my dream desk.

[@AceTrainerUK]

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

[@georgewithmore8972]

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!

[@sir1junior]

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

[@d3liriumtrigger88]

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!

[@joeldiramon]

whats the max width for the PC mount?

[@TubButter]

@@joeldiramon did you reach out about the reply above?👆🏻

[@eggyolk8067]

what is the depth of just the cable tray cover only? Cause I think that accounts to the depth table size as well.

[@Avisee]

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

[@TimidToaster]

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?

[@Nichrysalis]

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!

[@Adaephonable]

Lots of people.

[@RefractArt]

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

[@charlesgj7127]

One of the best videos on the desk!

[@CHGadgetz]

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.

[@TubButter]

Did you reach out about this message? 👆🏻

[@Hotdogbunzz]

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.

[@bIazex]

2:40 you can never be too old to have fun 👌🏼

[@barteksful]

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.

[@--Nino--]

Great Video - Just ordered my Magnus pro XL and liked your review - 🌊

[@charlesgitau8615]

🌊great review on the magnus table, watching from all the other side of the world in Kenya....

[@HerbalistAce]

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.

[@gojojutsu]

this is funny really nice review 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@youzbee]

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?

[@MikeWat]

its the elgato low profile :) It works but it's a super tight space for it!

[@Kk00870]

Awesome desk review! For sure helped in my research on what standing desk I'm going to be going with! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@MessItUpMike]

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! :)

[@MichaelBertolino]

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!

[@piusx906]

I saw this desk today for the first time, and I'm going to buy it. It's a gamers wet dream :)

[@geraldlevangie1976]

🌊 thanks for the review it was helpful

[@DaZeD420]

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.

[@racadabra3251]

On point review, nice !

[@KamilleN16]

Love this. Thanks for the review on them again.

[@MikeWat]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@TheRealDeal_81]

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 too would like to know the answer to this question as I'm looking at new desks right now

[@TheRealDeal_81]

@@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 😢

[@JulianBocchinfuso]

@@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]

@@JulianBocchinfuso Sadly, my review will need to wait - I just got notified by Secret Lab that my desk shipment is being delayed by another month 😭

[@JulianBocchinfuso]

@@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?

[@VMYeahVN]

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.

[@480bigbuck]

Would really love to know if you can use other monitor mounts on it??

[@owncreation_noname]

nice job Mike, thanks for the review

[@Pertruck254_KE]

simple elegant great video ...

[@MikeWat]

Glad you liked it!!

[@paulworster3683]

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!

[@blemysh0]

Súper wave!!,…. Excelent review. Thanks… 🌊

[@skillping]

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!🌊🌊

[@stephenjames2346]

Mike that's a cool desk you've got there🤞

[@aspatil1]

Great Video! Were you able to use other monitor arm for ultrawide?

[@derekgoff4328]

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

[@mikepulice20]

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 👍

[@ITSANAZNOMG]

what size is your monitor??

35 inches

What chair do you use?

[@forexquickie6496]

what is the weight of the desk alone? ☺️

[@BSoulMan]

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!

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?

[@1SuperD1]

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.

[@Koozy_]

Can you please let me know what power strip/extension cord thing that you were using? I would like to get for myself

[@niccolopaqueo583]

Out of curiosity, for the ultra wide monitor fiends out there, are there any recommended monitor arms that work well with this desk?

[@Radioactive_Noddy]

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?
