Full review
Longer notes from the same comments we summarized above.
What people reported
Owners consistently praise the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro, especially its exceptional cable management system. The integrated power and full-length rear cable tray effectively hide cords, power bricks, and adapters, making for a remarkably clean setup. Many found the desk solid, sturdy, and durable, describing it as "bullet proof" and "well built" even with multiple monitors. Assembly is often described as easy and straightforward, with some users needing a second person only briefly to flip the desk. The desk also offers smooth and quiet height adjustment with programmable presets. The XL version is particularly noted for its ample desk space.
Problems people mention
The most frequently cited concern among owners is the high price point of the MAGNUS Pro, which many consider a significant investment. Buyers have also reported long delivery times, with some waiting over six months. A few users mentioned that their standard monitor mounts couldn't fit due to the cable tray, potentially necessitating Secretlab's own monitor arms. Additionally, the integrated power cable was too short for some setups when the desk was in its full standing position, leading to visible cables or needing workarounds. One customer reported a shipping error, receiving a trampoline instead of the tabletop.
Where owners disagree
While most owners report the MAGNUS Pro is stable and free of significant wobble even at full height, some comments contradict this. A few users claim the desk "wobbles when you raise the desk" due to having only two legs, suggesting alternatives with four legs are more stable. However, several owners, including one with five monitors and a walking treadmill, state there was "not enough wobble to be worth complaining about" in normal use.
Who it's for
The Secretlab MAGNUS Pro is for individuals seeking a premium electric standing desk with a strong emphasis on a clean, organized workspace. It appeals to those willing to invest in a sturdy, high-quality build and who prioritize superior cable management and smooth height adjustments. It's particularly well-suited for users with complex multi-monitor or gaming configurations who want to maintain a minimal and intentional aesthetic.
