Two of the BEST Motorized Standing Desks (2023)

We compare and contrast two of the newest, most premium motorized standing desks on the market: the FlexiSpot E7 Pro Plus and SecretLab MAGNUS Pro. The FlexiSpot E7 Pro Plus offers a beautiful walnut top, cable management tray, customizable control panel, and a USB port, while the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro targets gamers with its sleek black design, magnetic desktop, cable management tray, and integrated power supply column. While the FlexiSpot desk excels in aesthetics and functionality, the SecretLab desk stands out for its features. If you are looking for a standing desk with multiple functions and with a high-tech appearance, Secretlab is an excellent choice. But if you put more importance on motor quality and stability for daily use, FlexiSpot performs better on these aspects with a lower price.

I want a standing desk setup but its so hard to do research. People pushing certains ones have "test" to make the cheaper ones look terrible. example would see the wobble test when you can clearly see people pushing the cheaper ones way harder than the expensive one. I feel like a 1, 000+ ones can't be that much better than a 500 one.

Great video! My secretlab Magnus pro XL coming in next month, can’t wait. I enjoyed this review and I will say I do enjoy a nice looking wood top on a desk. My first few desks were custom wood desks made from oak with apoxy that me and my brother made, so wood desks always look very refreshing to me! Appreciate the open opinions about each desk!

Will the magnetic desk top mess with external hard drives?

FlexiSpot should get on with modern times and switch to USB-C connector.

Does the cable management function on the Magnus Pro prevent you from attaching a monitor arm?

[carloshidalgo]

Which one is better for an office desk with 2 monitors ??

[RockyTrifari]

Wait so is this real walnut or is the walnut chipboard

Hello, I have some question about both desks, how is the stability on both up and down positions ? Is there any wiggling moves?
One the Magnus, is there enough space on the back to host arm support for screens ?
If anyone have some answers, thanks.

I'd avoid secretlabs as they refuse to clarify what type of motor or motor box brand they use in order to get a replacement, so once that short 5 year warranty is over- when that motor box dies that's it.

2 videos in a one month period? How come?

[toms]

small clarification: secret lab offers 5 years warranty on the frame. The motorized and electronic part is guaranteed only 2. This is to make you understand how SL has great consideration for its products

Had both and the secret labs Magnus pro is honestly quite superior in quality. Especially when you add the magnet mats. Feels amazing. I do like the look of the wood from the flexi but I like the magnus is wildly better of a value.

Awesome review :) do you think the E7 pro is wobbly? I am planning to get one 1.8m length

[nosvsanton]

are you sure tabletop magnetic? I mean I thought it is just metal (steal) and just because of that you can use magnets on it as on any metal thing.

Thank you SO much for this video. Just what I was looking for. I think im going with Desky, as it seems to give more bang for your buck. I like how you can buy power connector strips with the desk. You cant do that with the Magnus

Flexispot should develop a PC holder underneath the desk, just like the Magnus Pro has.

[Etal]

Theres no features justifying the flexispot for me....we have multiple standing desks at work that look and function identical to what youve shown...but were most likely half the price...at least the magnus desk has unique features

[CodyVella]

That isn’t the black walnut color it’s the rustic brown

[Rabessey]

I got the E7L. 2 tops, 60x24, and 48x30 in Maple with white frame/legs...It'll be 72(48+24)x60...The 48" section will have a 49" curved monitor. I just got the frame a few days ago.

Bought the E7pro frame and a tabletop seperately from real beech wood, pretty ”cheaper” solution than paying over 1000 credits. Buy smart my friends.
