SecretLab Magnus Pro

[unp|dissy]

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

Has anyone got the SecretLab Magnus Pro desk?

I really like the look of it and with the power cable built into the leg and the cable management.

However it is obviously a lot of money when there are cheaper standing desks out there.

Is it worth it?

Sorry I can't help you OP but I'm also interested as have been looking at this desk as well.

Also interested in feedback on the Magnus Pro. My main concern would be any wobble when at its highest, but unless you spend more on a four legged desk, you'll have some wobble I guess with every sit/stand desk. Love the cable management with the power and ethernet cables being hidden though.

Scrap that. Only the EU store ships to Ireland, but they won't supply the type G sockets and plugs used in the UK and Ireland. And the UK no longer ships to Ireland due to Brexit. I could use an adapter I suppose, but that would likely void warranties should anything go wrong.

Going to be ordering mine this week, but won't be building until Christmas as need to redesign the office. Grabbing the PC mount, double monitor arm and laptop stand...

So I got an email not long after the order saying it was delayed until 30th. Yesterday I actually got an email saying it was awaiting pickup. Hopefully I can set the delivery date as I’m not home until 29th anyway!!

Plan is to build it near end of January as painting and redoing a lot of my office anyway so afraid you will be waiting a while!

Yeah I just bought the magnus pro, im so impressed with the build quality and the cable management system is superb.

I bought the monitor arm, PC holder though I haven't fitted it yet and headphone holder. Its the best desk I've used.

Dare we ask for pics? Really want one of these but the other half and I are house hunting so not making major furniture purchases before the move.

I can finally help with this. Apologies for the delay, my office is in the process of a bit of TLC.

So thoughts after a month or so:

• Desk be heavy. This is a two person job. You attach the legs upside down and then flip the desk. Def need a second person, maybe even a third to help!
• Loving all the cable tidyness (ignore the mess of cables in the photos, office is still WIP
• I'm a big fan of the PC mount and the laptop/PS5 mount from etsy. Again useful having a second person for the PC mount.
• The dual monitor mount...it's awesome, but I can see why people recommend going for two single monitor mounts. Makes it a bit easier to get exactly how you want.
• I need to buy the headphone mount

Any further questions, ask away!

Should point out, this it the standard (non-XL) desk with a 24" vertical and gigabyte m28u. I've since put the 24 to landscape and yeah, wish I had two single monitor mounts.

Thanks ever so. Is that the standard rather than the XL? Still nowhere near as large and overpowering as I expected, so I guess the cable management saves a lot of desk space?

I did indeed go standard, the extra 10cm depth of the XL could be useful but it would have been too wide (extra 30cm) for my office once everything is in. Cable management does indeed save loads of room. Take a while to do it properly and you will no doubt tinker with the setup (new cables of right length, monitor positioning etc) but it’s worth it. It’s a lot but it’s effectively my endgame desk. Like…that’s it.
