What do you guys think about the NEW desk? Make some waves in the comments! 🌊🌊🌊 My Affiliate Links & FAQ Below! ↓↓↓ ➡ NEW MAGNUS PRO Desk - bit.ly/MW-SLMagnusPro ➡ NEW Titan Evo 2022 Gaming Chair - bit.ly/MWTitanEvo2022 Check out my Custom MW Desk Pad! bit.ly/Grovemade-MW20 (10% OFF code MWAT10) Frequently Asked Questions 1. 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?

[@Harry.O]

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@supbrice]

Thanks for the tips 😂

[@FirstLast-pr2pj]

exacrly

[@MrUneatable]

Remove carpet. Will fix 90% of the wobble

[@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

[@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? 👆🏻

[@sir1junior]

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

[@theroadtripguy402]

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊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!!

[@henrynorrisjr1806]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative and gives me lots of ideas to incorporate in my set up🌊🌊

[@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! :)

[@ivan_thai]

🌊 great review Matt! They thought about almost everything when designing this desk! 🌊

[@stevejim2488]

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!

[@SayianWizard]

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.

[@MikeWat]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@markoboychuk]

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

[@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!🌊🌊

[@charlesgj7127]

One of the best videos on the desk!

[@theLadEli]

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!

[@ghostgetti4310]

🌊 Great video, the best I could find on KZbin about this desk! It answered all my questions and definitely going to buy this one. Loved that you showed the build process and recommendations clearly!!

[@KamilleN16]

Love this. Thanks for the review on them again.

[@mauriciorecinos4692]

🌊Great content. Will consider purchasing this desk, thanks to all the information you have provided.

[@skillerwhale7638]

Great alternative to the pricier desks. Excellent review.👏 🌊

[@ObliviousGeek]

Great preview, thanks! 🌊

[@Flexje12]

🌊 Great to see this desk. I was already looking into this one for ,y new study/computer room.

[@--Nino--]

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

[@NPCLiam]

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! 🌊🌊

[@Hotdogbunn]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@deejaybenji2009]

Great review Mike, would love Secretlabs to send one to test out!

[@XCFlorez7]

currently have the original magnus but i am definitely eyeing this one, great review brotha keep it up

[@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!

[@joeldiramon8538]

whats the max width for the PC mount?

[@TubButter]

@@joeldiramon8538 did you reach out about the reply above?👆🏻

[@charlesgitau8615]

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

[@zerokiryu6330]

Fantastic video! Thank you! :) 🌊

[@JoshTechgamer]

great video Mike> looks good 🌊

[@owncreation_noname]

nice job Mike, thanks for the review

[@DocX36]

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!

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@stephenjames2346]

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

[@K.A.Ralph334]

Awsome setup!!!🌊🌊🌊

[@wasabinator]

Nice review, can't wait till mine ships 🌊

[@geraldlevangie1976]

🌊 thanks for the review it was helpful

[@Kk00870]

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

[@michalkocis8934]

Love that table. Gonna get it soon ..

[@joechav1207]

New to your channel. Great video! 🌊

[@superboy305]

Best review so far

[@AhmedSadoon]

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?

[@MarekConnellEnglish]

🌊Nice review brah!

[@williamgorelander8290]

Thanks for the review. 🌊

[@jorgevasquez2607]

🌊 🌊 🌊 nice video like always

[@chicken2201]

Awesome video 🌊

[@SinceSpacies]

🌊 Great video matey. I just slapped some dosh on one of these desks.

[@racadabra3251]

On point review, nice !

[@TechAuditTV]

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 😂

[@MikeWat]

so glad they made it this way haha!!

[@jameshiers9679]

🌊 -- quite helpful, thanks!

[@BizantyjskiBorsuk]

🌊 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!

[@MikeWat]

glad you liked the vid man!

[@RefractArt]

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

[@williameweaverjr8089]

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.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@Adaephonable]

You suspect that addition increases numbers? What a revolutionary hypothesis.

[@AaronCrawford]

Love the cable management

[@gojojutsu]

this is funny really nice review 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@blemysh0]

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

[@phil8264]

Aside from the magnets you used for your headphones, did you end up needing any of the cable management addons they offer? I'm looking at the options and trying to figure out why you'd need them if you have a big tray in the back of the desk.

[@aspatil1]

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

[@brantleyanderson8872]

Sweet set up bro, quick question, what laptop stand are you using, that thing is slick

[@nathankitchen8105]

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!

[@michaelprieto5825]

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?

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations. Cool. I am impressed. 👍👏👏

[@cullenangel]

🌊 I'm on the looking for a new desktop, this is an amazing review,

[@5rockyboy]

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

[@costantineyoussif6679]

Stunning reviewing 👍🏼 may i ask where did you get this wood cabinet with black top the one next to your desk i like it 😍

[@taomahNEGEV]

A brilliant review. Why would you need the monitor arms? What is the max pc case size the rack can hold?

[@vangeles11]

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.

[@rodneydangerfield7153]

Great video review, Mike!...Does Magnus sell a four-leg desk to prevent wobble?

[@StreekG]

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

[@flepie309]

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

[@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!

[@AE.sthetics]

I am sold! 🌊

[@michaelpromoter8297]

🌊🌊🌊 awesome... I hope I will be able to afford this someday 🥺

[@jeff21gaming59]

so im upgrading my whole set up and i was wondering if the case mount would be compatible with the HYTE 60 mid tower

[@Grimesitty]

Great video bro! What speakers are those?

[@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.

[@kona328WH]

Sick desk

[@eggyolk8067]

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

[@Jammilogy]

Nice review Bro! I hope I can buy a Magnus someday. ☠️💸 Hehehe For now I will enjoy my SL Titan Evo 2022 🥲

[@Koozy_]

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

[@480bigbuck]

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

[@niccolopaqueo583]

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

[@jump312]

never too old for fun with a friend.

[@leotom7527]

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

[@SaralinaLove]

What is the cool hexagon wall light feature from? thanks!! I'm going to watch more of your videos!!

[@Legatus]

which microphone arm are you using? looks cool.

[@derekgoff4328]

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

[@cheehau123]

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.

[@TheSpanishmuscle]

Any update from secretlabs and the stability when it's raised? You mentioned they said it should not be like that and it was down to it being a prototype. Thanks

[@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!

[@toobibobi6167]

Very good Video my friend. Thank you for also talking about bad parts. You really helped me with my decision of wich desk i want to buy next 🌊 like+sub

[@KrakPoT13]

Can you use any monitor arm on this? Or does it have to be their own brand that they sell?

[@JackRabbit72380]

can you do a quick comparison video on the 2 rgb strips reg and xl versions and controling them with the verable ways like razer synamps and msi misic light or asus rgb software or whatever? because i was thinking about just getting the strip but wondering if theres a cheprer option and wondering if it works with my pc rgb software.

[@PushkarRavi]

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 🌊

[@ghty56222]

just wondering if putting a boom arm for a mic on the left/right side of the desk mat would would destroy it?

[@HayashiKaiji]

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.
