The setup is clean, and imo there's no better standing desk on the market that has all of the accessories/cable management that this one has. i am 6'5 and even at the level i have to take it to in order for me to stand, it doesn't wobble at all unless i use my hulk super-strength to push it lol. You're a real one for giving a + review against a competitor, I appreciate that!Watch T
This is a superb sit/stand motorised desk with some brilliant highlights that include a premium build quality and some awesome design features that make it stand out from the crowd (see what I did there?).Watch G
In 2023 and 2024's Black Friday Secretlab deals, we saw both the Magnus and the Magnus Pro come down in price, so it would stand to reason that in 2025, we see the same from the brand's desk range. As a part of the brand's Black Friday Now initiative, one version of the Magnus Pro is already seeing a discount, and it's included in a few bundle offerings.Read G
The Secretlab MAGNUS Pro is easily one of the best height adjustable desks we ever had the pleasure to use, but it does have a few kinks.Watch T
I have done a lot of research before buying the Magnus Pro XL and for me it is currently by far the best computer desk you can get if you want clear cable management, high material quality and building quality. I just love it. Especially the small mangets for cabelmagamet if you have a lot of USB-C cabels for loading some stuff is excellent.Watch D
Ich habe den Secretlab MAGNUS Pro ausführlich getestet und bin wirklich begeistert! Dieser Schreibtisch ist ein absolutes Must Have für Gamer!Watch D
I got the Magnus Pro and assembled it. IT'S NOT WOBBLING much AT ALL at standing height. I'm 6'2'' and I have 2 monitors set up on arms (ergotron dual). There's enough space for the arm and the lid closes. I have a mic stand on the side. Why am I talking about the Secretlab Magnus on a Deskhaus channel? Oh, wait.coz you did, Corona boy.Watch J
It's been a total game changer for the setup.Watch M
I still stand by everything I said. The steel frame is as sturdy today as it was when first assembled. The all-over magnetic top is sleek, and it comes in handy when adding on some of Secretlab’s (pricy) accessories. The motor hums to life without pause, and the legs extend and retract in one smooth motion.Read F
See why these new iterations are bigger and better than before in my official review.Watch T
The Secretlab Magnus Pro XL takes everything that worked with the original model and innovates on it in new and impressive ways. Boasting a new sit-to-stand feature, an increased tabletop size, and even a power delivery column, if money is no object then this is the definitive high-end gaming desk to beat.Read F
The SecretLab Magnus Pro Desk is everything I wanted from the original Magnus Desk! I compare the Magnus Pro Desk to my previous Uplift Standing Desk in this review video.Watch S
This is possibly the best desk on the planet right now. Cable management is absolutely amazing. Only gripe I have is with support of 3rd party monitor arms - which I had from before and had to do some major compromises to get it mounted to the desk.Watch C
So, had a lot of conversations with Cam about his Uplift desk and looked heavily into that one. Um, this is not a cheap desk by any means, but I think some of the features on it seem to be really good. Um, I like having the built-in motorized uh panel for the motor. Um, it's nice and sleek in the desk. It's got interchangeable desk pads on the top. Um, so you can change that out if you get bored.Watch E
While each desk on this list serves a distinct purpose, the Secretlab Magnus Pro stands out as our top pick. It's a premium, full-metal sit-to-stand desk with expert cable management and a sleek magnetic design for modular customisation.Read M
This is my ultimate M4 Mac Mini dream desk setup using the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL sit-stand desk in white. From perfect cable management to magnetic accessories, this clean setup completely transformed how I work and create.Watch P
The best overall is the Secretlab Magnus Pro , as it packs so many useful features into its metal frame and desktop. Meanwhile, the Flexispot E7 is a great value option, and the Corsair Platform:6 offers loads of extra storage spaces.Read I
With a motorized sit-stand system, integrated power column, and industry-leading cable management, the MAGNUS Pro XL is designed for the cleanest desk setup possible.Watch D
Magnus Pro user here. Can't stress enough what a great value choice is to get the monitor arms (or one heavy duty arm). It leaves your space absolutely free to do anything. Also, arms cable management is top notch. You should try it.Watch I
Many reviewers call this one of the best gaming desks available, thanks to its premium build quality and thoughtful design—but it also comes with a high price tag.Watch F
We also appreciate the feedback with some of the things we can improve with the MAGNUS Pro - we'll relay this with our Product team to note on how we can further work to fulfill more needs from our desk users. Cheers Fracno!Watch H
Secretlab MAGNUS Pro is the ultimate sit-to-stand metal desk that adds an electric lift to your day, while giving you the space and freedom to stretch. Intelligent magnetic organization keeps cables hidden and tech essentials in place, so your perfect setup is now always within reach.Watch D
I love my XL Magnus. For me, it's solid, functional, and just looks badass! Keep in mind, I'm a minimalist and don't have as much going on as you, but so far, not one complaint. I would definitely buy it again.Watch C

I have the Y70 touch infinite and was worried that the pc holder wouldn’t be big enough but am planning on ordering the Magnus Pro XL soon.Watch P
The results are absolutely worth it as Secretlab built something pretty special here, and I'm so glad I was finally able to get this desk and share with you all, how awesome this build is. I hope you enjoy the video and please give me a like as it would be really appreciated.Watch P

I’ve been wanting this desk over several years and finally always able to attain it.Watch R r/secretlab u/Itchy-Accountant-606 · owner
Very happy with my choice and glad I went with the XL. No regrets right now and plan to get a few more of the accessories for it soon.Read T
This desk by far has been the most amazing desk I ever own for a few reasons. One of them is the magnetic add-ons. The tabletop still looks brand new despite the daily abuse. I use this basically every day for almost a year. And as you can see, there's not a single scratch mark or anything into this table top. It just look like I bought it yesterday.Watch A
Excellent video, this is my 2025 project, completely rebuild my office room, and will be using the Magnum Pro XL as my desk.Watch L
This desk is a game-changer for gamers, streamers, and content creators, and I’m here to show you everything it has to offer right out of the box.Watch W

All right, we got the Secret Lab uh Magnus Pro XL. >> Nice >> unboxing. >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. Box two of two. >> Oh, look at that. Made in Malaysia. Uncle Roger happy. >> You know, this thing is heavy, but not as heavy as people were it. >> Well, I mean, you're also stronger than probably the average person, >> maybe. Okay.Watch S
This is probably the first ad on YouTube i might actually consider buying in the near future. Great job, looks awesome!Watch J
Spoiler alert, this thing might easily be one of the best home purchases I have ever done in my life. This is my old setup that I wanted to replace. A custommade desk that became too small at some point. I tried to do some basic cable management using supplies from Amazon, but it still looked pretty bad.Watch C
This desk is so cool that you'll end up watching videos like this even though you already have this deskWatch T
Like the Titan Evo, the unboxing experience for the Magnus Pro is about as userfriendly as it gets. You attach the legs to the bottom of the desk surface and connect them to the motor.Watch P
I finally bought a Secretlab Magnus Pro gaming desk, and I love it more than my RTX 5090Read G

I wanted to share with the community here about my experience with Secret labs evo desks. I have a back issue so I opted for the paid assembly service, carried out in the UK by BJS. It was clear shortly after they arrived that the crew had no idea how to assemble the desk - the legs went on the wrong way, the foam was not left on the desk or under neath it without my prompting.Watch M

Just got the Magnus pro, I live in a rural Utah. Everything we get delivered is extremely banged up from shipping. But not the desk itself they packed it well and the quality is top notch. Super happy with it. I was extremely speculative when I ordered it, my monitor fits the standard arm even though it’s right at max weight limit. I’m still not sure about the ATLAS chair.Watch M

I have the Final Fantasy XIV edition of their chair and have been looking into getting a new desk. Was considering biting the bullet and getting the Magnus Pro and then I noticed the Gundam themed set and that immediately cemented my decision. I may get one of the chair sleeves to turn my chair into Gundam theme for awhile, will end up doubling as protection as well!Watch D
While there is a lot of content out there, I don't see a lot of critical content discussing some of the negatives about this brand of desks. And spoiler alert, there are some negatives for certain setups. So this is a video for you if you're about to pull the trigger on a Secret Lab Magnus Pro desk. But also remember, this isn't a hit piece telling you to not buy in.Watch C
I've had this desk for a while now (over a year) and really love it. I ended up buying 2 under desk PC mounts (one for PC and another to hold a sub), headphone holder, and the monitor arm and they all work really great. Secretlab also came out with a super sweet Hush Batman desktop pad so I replaced my original subdued Batman pad.Watch D
Now, I don't want to spoil the whole video, but my full-on recommendation between the two is the Evo. There's a few reasons, but also a few things we have to consider. So, if that's all you wanted, you can walk away happy.Watch R r/secretlab u/Call-me-Gwen · owner
I love all of secretlabs products. They are a bit overpriced in all honesty, support is absolute garbage. Best product? Desk and accessories. Worst product, the chairs. I should not be hurting after sitting down in a chair after x amount time, and it's not because of posture, because any other chair does not give me this pain.Read N
This is the Secret Lab Magnus Pro and it's arguably the endgame for gaming desks.Watch H
I'm comparing the Magnus Pro to BTOD's (Beyond The Office Door in Wisconsin)) Vert Desk V3. I do not work for BTOD and have no financial conflicts of interest. I'm just an old guy/PC computer home hobbyist since 1993. The Vert Desk V3 uses Innotech electronics which has a lifetime Warranty along w/ the frame and top.Watch D
Spoiler alert! the Secretlab's Magnus PRO is a great desk but not all of it’s accessories meet expectations. In this review I give an overview of the assembly procedure and a detailed review of the desk including a wobble test with examples to show stability. There are also some things to consider before purchasing the PC mount, especially if your case has top mounted vents.Watch I
It’s an expensive desk though, and for the money, it would have been nice to see a smarter safety mechanism for the motors and the desk mat included. Still, the overall quality you get is a big step up from cheaper standing desks, and the optional accessories truly enhance the experience.Read O
I would say that the wobble is comparable to other tables. So, no concern for me. Second test, the handshake. For this test, we will be intentionally shaking the table. As you can see, after vigorous shaking on the right hand side at a height of 76.4 cm, it is very stable. However, at a 1:1 cm height, you can see that it's actually swaying a bit more, which is to me kind of expected.Watch H
The Secretlab Magnus Pro warrants only 5 years despite its premium price, which is the primary reason it ranks below its build quality would otherwise suggest. Vari’s lifetime warranty covers functional operation and is a genuine standout at its tier.Read J
While I love the product, I had poor experience with Secretlab customer support. Few days after I spent 1.000 euros on the desk and accessories, EU website featured 20% off accessories with the purchase of a new desk. I contacted their support and said that I wanted to order few more accessories and asked them to apply the discount.Watch A
You say it's solid, but I would like to see the wobble test at full standing height. Other reviews show it's an issue. I saw other videos comment that Secret Labs has a new supplier for the white version, and that appears to be more stable.Watch S
love the desk, but man the design to even the desk out by holding the down button is a bit counter intuitive if the desk is too low and starts having issues, couldne't get mine out of limbo for a while and thought i broke a damn leg.Watch A
At the same time, the metal surface can feel less forgiving than wood for users who prefer a warmer, softer tactile experience. Desk mats are almost essential for long typing sessions, especially in cooler environments.Read B
Shame that the desk has so much wobble when put up high, otherwise a really innovative desk with magnets and great cable management. EDIT: Apparently they use a new manufacturer now, eliminating almost all wobble.Watch J
I have a white Magnus Pro XL for almost 2 years and honnestly. It´s by far one of the best desks money can buy.Watch D

Frequently asked questions
It ranks #2 (A tier) on our consolidated gaming desks board, drawn from 77 cited sources across 53 outlets.
Slightly smaller footprint.
Anyone who wants the all-metal build and ergonomic design of the top pick in a room where the larger desk will not fit. GamesRadar named it the best gaming desk on the market, and it sits in A tier at rank 2 on our Gaming Desks board. Its generous workspace, solid construction and built-in power strip cover a two-monitor PC setup well. If you run three monitors or want the biggest surface, the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL in S tier is the better buy.
Its all-metal construction is the feature reviewers praise most, and the original Secretlab Magnus, which shares that frame design, has owners reporting many years of use without failure. The only con the board records is the smaller footprint, with no reports of wear, wobble or faults. Expect it to last as long as any desk on our board.
Yes. Reviewers credit it with a generous workspace, and its one con is only that the footprint is smaller than the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL. Two 27 inch monitors side by side need roughly 120 cm of width, which is well within a standard desk of this class. For a triple monitor layout the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL is the safer choice.
Yes, a built-in power strip is one of the five pros reviewers list for it, alongside its all-metal construction and ergonomic design. It means a single cable runs from the desk to the wall and monitors, PC and chargers plug in under the surface. The original Secretlab Magnus lacks this, which is one reason it sits in D tier while the Pro sits in A tier.
Buy the Secretlab Magnus Pro. Reviewers describe the Secretlab Magnus Evo as having a similar feature set to the Pro but at a higher cost, with less modularity and fewer colour options, and it sits in D tier on our board against the Pro in A tier. The Evo has strong community feedback and a large surface, but nothing the board records that the Pro does not already offer.
