Had heard of the wobble "issue" but based on this video my stationary desk with 5 legs wobbles just as much

@DTSquared

I agree most standard desks are going to be pretty similar. My previous desk was a built-in bench bolted to the walls and even that had some wobble.

Brilliant review. I think the monitor arms and not just the placement are giving you more wobble than expected. I switched out the Secretlab for Ergotron monitor arms and have no wobble on two heavy 32 inch monitors.

@DTSquared

Thanks glad you liked it. I suspect you are correct on the arm wobble and there are better arms out there. But I've not found the wobble to be annoying or distracting and the arms do look good. (For monitor arms 🙂.)

Great review at so many levels! I will be moving in a month and I’m undecided between the magnus and flexispot… I think the cable try in this one is really nice plus the monitor arm will be a bit closer as it’s mounted ahead of the try. So far I’m leaning towards the Secretlab and this review has a lot of useful info, cheers!

I'm not sure how to set the max height, but I was able to set the minimum height by adjusting the desk to the desired height, then pressing the up and down buttons together until you hear a beep. The table will no longer go down below that point (even when using a previous preset that was lower).

A honest and very nice detailed review. thanks, i wanted to buy 2 rgb strips, but I guess i will keep my tapo strip, just move it to the new desk

There is a way to set the lowest height possible. You just gotta go to the desired height and then hold the up and down button at the same time until a beep sound is heard. I found that out after watching the review of yours and then buying the desk.

@DTSquared

I'll try that if it works, that's really good. Thanks for the information. EDIT : Just tried and it works perfectly !! Also in case anyone else tries this pressing both buttons together again until you hear a beep un sets the lower limit.

Great review, thank you! Good to see the some of the gotchas pointed out. With the crossbar you mentioned, how much depth is there for your legs before your knees hit? Any changes you'd mention or extra 3d printed parts since you made your review?

@DTSquared

18 күн бұрын

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful. In terms of leg room if I sit as close as possible to the desk my knees are about an inch away but level height wise with the lowest part of the crossbar. I can just about make my knees touch it but only if I'm effectively starting to slide under the desk. I'm 6ft4 and fairly slim, so can get closer to edge of desk than most. But I'd never sit that close so it's not really an issue. I haven't thought of any other 3D parts to make as yet, but I have just received the SecretLabs network extender which is pretty good. I'll be posting a video review of that on my new tech focussed channel www.youtube.com/@DTSquaredTech very soon.

Great video! I am in the market for a desk, I have contemplated doing a DIY buying my own legs and doing my own wood top, The Magnus XL, and possibly an Uplift desk. One of my concerns is depth since the room my office is in isn't particularly deep which is why I have been leaning towards DIY and doing a 27 inch deep custom desktop. But the sleekness of this desk is something that makes it appealing. If I do purchase it, I know all of the details from watching your review!

Thanks glad you liked the video, and I hope it helps you to make a decision either way.

Due to spinal fusion, I was in the market for a sit/stand desk. This is by far the best of the many reviews I reviewed. I also have a Titan chair. I added a lot of accessories but haven't ordered them. Thanks to your review, I'll skip the LED and order elsewhere. Unfortunately, after your review, I find myself in need of a 3D printer. I don't suppose you have a review of those? Thanks again!. ❤

@DTSquared

3 ай бұрын

So sorry to hear about your back problem, I hope the sit stand desk helps. I haven’t made a review of my 3D printer (perhaps I should) but it is an Ender 3 S1 Pro and whilst not an expert on 3D printers I would recommend it. I had one issue after a month or two where the extruder stopped working. It turned out to be the ribbon cable and after contacting the supplier / Ender they sent a new one out pretty quickly and it’s worked fine since. I’ve printed loads on it almost entirely parts I’ve modelled myself, to the point where what I thought would be an occasional toy to tinker with has become something I’d instantly replace if it stopped working. Glad you enjoyed the review your kind comments mean a lot and I hope the Magnus Pro works out well for you.

Its a well made desk. Im loving mine. It does have a little wobble but nothing that makes me nervous. The cable management is very good.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I haven't had any power related issues at all with the built in power delivery on the desk (or the 8 gang extension lead I added in the cable tray, just in case that's the one you meant.) I think I did read about some people, that had had some issues with tripping RCDs, but if I remember correctly, it was earlier versions or a specific batch issue. (Though that is just from memory of a Redit post.) Mine has certainly been trouble-free.

Great video

I suspect wobble might be a function of the weight of the desk top. Weighty ones stabilize, lighter ones easily transmit the wobble from any leg instability. My solid wood top (30-40kg according to the specs) absorbs most of the kinetic energy from knocks fairly well and there is very little screen wobble.

@DTSquared

3 ай бұрын

I think you're correct that the desk top weight will damp any knocks, etc. But the top is pretty heavy, and I think in this case it is more that the arm that's amplifying the wobble. Either way I haven't found it too distracting, and I've seen similar screen wobble on permanently fixed desk tops.

hey not sure if this has been mentioned but I was in a situation where I couldnt reach wifi frim where my nanoleafs could function nicely so I ended up installing the app on my PC and avoided using my mobile at all. This may help resolve this issue. For me personally I am limited to what I can and cant buy when I get this desk and the RGB strip will have to wait either way.

@DTSquared

2 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure this isn't an option for the MAGRGB. It is outside of their normal eco system so the apps and other PC integration isn't supported. I think I mentioned that in the video as another limitation with the MAGRGB. I don't know if this is because of their move to Thread or they just decided to leave it outside of their existing eco system.

Brilliant video! I have a tower tall 57cm do you think it's possible to mount on the Secret lab PC Mount? If I see the maximum height is 543mm how did you manage that with your case?

@DTSquared

Sounds like it could be borderline. The thing to check is the distance from the top and bottom faces of the case in the middle (front to back) since that is where the clamp grips the case. my case has feet but those are only on the corners so don't affect the clamp.

Can this desk also be used for music production, e.g. 2 speaker monitors (14 kg each), 1 ultra wide screen monitor and possibly a keyboard? And which size table is yours - 1500 or the 1700?

Hi, I don't normally supply parts as I'm not really setup to produce significant numbers of them. In the case of the USB bar ends they will only work with these exact USB cables as the holes have to match exactly (unless smaller USB cables and a lot of glue is used). These are the cables I used.- www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0932RLXXJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Are you based in the UK and able to get this type of cable?

Not from the wall to the desk but the 8 gang extension lead which is plugged into the desk has surge protection. So the desk is NOT protected but PC, monitor and everything else on the desk IS protected.

Do you suggest this desk? I'm seeing this one because of the accessories, but I'm not sure if it's the best desk.

@DTSquared

Ай бұрын

Difficult to say if it's the "best desk" I would say that it is certainly the nicest looking desk in terms of general style and finish of the ones I looked at. Functionally it works well so I doubt you'd be disappointed in it and from past experience Secret Labs are pretty good at fixing any issues that do arise. It's in the upper end of the reasonably priced desks so on balance it's definitely up there amongst the better desks.
