DESINO Gaming Desk 100cm PC Computer Desk, Home Office Desk Gaming Table Z Shaped Gamer Workstation with Cup Holder and Headphone Hook, Black

Product Information

There are other smart things you can consider having for your desk as well. A monitor stand, for example is a great way to raise the screen a bit, especially if you have a laptop and a fixed home computer desk. Perhaps you want a holder under the desk that keeps all the cables in place, or holes in the corner to lead the cords down to the floor.

But that's what makes this the Magnus ProXL: the desk's adjustable sit/stand functionality. The standard Magnus doesn't offer this. The Magnus Pro XL is capable of lifting 120kg in gross weight (87.1kg if you subtract the weight of the metal desk itself) up to a height of 125cm. It sits only 65cm off the ground at its lowest.

The legs are sturdy, but consider the surface you're going to place the thing on carefully. The desk itself is not that easy to build, however. The individual legs are super heavy, and the metal 'chassis' isn't much better. You'll need a hand making it, or maybe an engine winch.There has been a lot of talk recently about how our increasingly sedentary lifestyle can harm our health. And if you sit down for much of your working day and then sit down to enjoy your favorite games for hours on end in the evening, then chances are that you're not going to be moving around that much, which is bad.

Construction is a straightforward task, taking just over an hour to turn the two boxes into a working, versatile desk. A few more pre-drilled holes for the control box and the central beam would have been nice, but the surface is easy enough to screw into with a bit of elbow grease. The Flexispot EN1B may not have the catchiest name here, but it makes for an impressively sturdy, motorized adjustable desk for anyone looking to upgrade their home/gaming/office setup. And it will do it all at a reasonable price. And yet, the SmartDesk Core manages to match the Stance at every level, only without the premium price tag. Sure, there's no collision detection on the medium model like the cheaper Flexispot EN1B has, but I'd certainly pay the asking price for a gorgeous premium standing desk. Smaller desks are best suited for smaller spaces. But they can be used in ways that make them incredibly surface-efficient. Take corner desks, for example. Awesome if you really want to use your space to the max. And if you want to hide the home office desk when not in use, we have a great tip: put a curtain or blind above it. That way, when you’re done, you can just pull the curtain and poof! The whole desk is gone. And folding desks can give you even more space. This, since they can simply be folded away when you're done! Go big with a larger home deskThat depends on what you class as a 'gaming desk.' Indeed, it's worth having a dedicated desk upon which to have your monitor and keyboard, and mouse, from an ergonomic point of view at the very least. Balancing your kit on top of a chest of drawers where you can't get your feet under is terrible for your posture, and sitting at a dining room table isn't going to help either. Though, once it's set up, that's not an issue and means it's an impressively sturdy solution at each of its 11-height settings. We've been able to run a pair of monitors on the top section with the extended lower section ideal for a mouse and keyboard. Okay, it's not ideal for a mouse because the surface does not play nice with most sensors. We had to jury rig our shaped mouse mat to get a decent experience, but the two-tier stepping still makes for an excellent desktop. It's also one of the simplest ways to get yourself a standing desk; it requires no setup and doesn't impact the desktop you place it on. The VariDesk Pro Plus comes ready to roll straight out of the box. All you need to do is put it on top of your current desk, and you're good to go. You'll need some strength to get it there as this thing is not light. Then there's that tempered glass top. It's frosted, which makes the included RGB strips look great when your system's fully built, but at a single button press, it can be made crystal clear so you can gaze adoringly down into your PC's insides. It's completely unnecessary, and I love it. However, it's a blessing and a curse because even the best gaming mouse will need a good mouse mat with that glass surface beneath it.

The Walnut top is polished to perfection, the corners have a gorgeous curve to them, and the edge is rounded just enough that it doesn't feel sharp to rest your wrists on. It took me an hour to put together by myself, and the instructions weren't worded all that well—asking me to simply get it in the "proper position"—and the illustrations didn't help at all, so I had to really pause to think about which holes went where. The alignment wasn't as accurate as I would have liked either, but despite some of the screws having gone in at a slight angle it's now finally together and stands mightily in my spare room. The Flexispot supports heights from 71cm (27.8in) up to 121cm (47.6in), which should have you covered for all comfortable sitting and standing setups. The control panel can hold three different height profiles in its memory banks and moves smoothly between them. Or you can set your height manually, with the current level shown on the three-digit display.There are multiple gaming desk sizes, mostly around 60 x 30 inches, with 40 x 30 inches as another popular size. Which you prefer will largely depend on how much space you have and how many monitors you want to stand atop it. Is a gaming desk worth it? There are a good few options to mix and match the worktop and desk frame, though the UK options are a little more limited. You may not want to replace your office furniture completely—or even be able to if it's not yours—which makes a converter, such as VariDesk's Pro Plus range, a great option. The Pro Plus is available in different sizes, can sit atop most desktops, and immediately allows you to switch from sitting to standing. The one accessory I really do think is worth investing in is the dual monitor arm. It's a single unit that clamps firmly onto the desk, between the hinged cover and the desk itself, and it offers sprawling reach for both the 28-inch and 32-inch monitors I've got in right now.
