The Secretlab Magnus XL Desk is constructed using high-quality materials, which contribute to its sturdy and robust build. The frame is made from a strong steel material, ensuring stability and durability for long-term use. On top of the frame lies a sleek and smooth desktop surface that provides ample space for gaming or office setups.
The desk was very easy to assemble with the help of a friend (as it is a very heavy desk). All the tools necessary for setup come with the box and the instructions are laid out very clearly.

The Secretlab Magnus Pro XL Desk is designed with cable management in mind. This feature helps keep your workspace clutter-free and organized by hiding cables and wires from sight. The desk incorporates a cable-management tray and built-in cable routing channels, ensuring a clean and professional look on your desk.
I’m not usually very good at cable management, with cables visible everywhere but with this desk, I’ve been able to keep my cables at bay and maintain the beautiful sleek, and wireless look (for the most part).
Adjustable Height
A key feature of the Magnus Pro XL is its adjustable height, which allows users to optimize their work or gaming experience based on their personal preferences. I’ve found the adjustability to be very friendly to my comfort so far. Whether I’m working on spreadsheets or in video call meetings, I like to switch to standing mode occasionally with my pre-assigned heights on buttons 1-3. While gaming, I still usually sit, although I do dabble in the standing mode sometimes if it is a more casual game I’m into.

Secretlab has included a variety of built-in accessories with the Magnus Pro XL Desk to enhance user experience and convenience:
All in all, the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL Desk offers users a high-quality, feature-rich experience with excellent cable management, adjustable height capabilities, and an array of built-in accessories designed for a comfortable and organized workspace.
