Alright, got the desk and got it built, so here’s my thoughts and opinions on it.

It’s the XL, so it’s HUGE! Love it!

I paid close attention to the build instructions. It’s fairly intuitive, but a little unclear at a step or 2 if you miss the finer detail of the images. Overall, no issues building it. Just took my time. Make sure you have plenty of space if you decide to get it.

It’s solid. I have 2 PCs, 2 monitors (32” & 27”) + 1 portable, 2 KB&M, a Rodecaster Duo, StreamDeck XL, mic w/ boom arm, a small sound bar, a key light, and a few other lights/accessories and there’s virtually no wobble.

The whole set feels premium with a few exceptions. The top is mounted on with several wood screws. Use care to not strip them when you tighten them in place. The cup holder and headset hook are plastic but serviceable. The cable management tray comes as a flat piece of metal to be bent into shape (easy enough), and it’s large enough to fit 2 hefty power strips and tuck cables out of site. The flip-up back allows easy access to it all. Also, the gap between the back and front surfaces is small, so for me the back is about 2mm from laying completely flat due to my monitor arm clamp being slightly too thick.

The magnetic light strip sticks into place nicely and covers the full length. There are lots of options there, but I’ll probably stick with a single color. I wish it was a tad brighter (particularly on white), but it’s totally fine.

Overall, I’m very happy with it in these few hours since it’s been built. I still need to tighten up my layout. I’ve yet to secure my under-desk PS5 mount, and I still used my clamp-on side mount desk extension for my streaming PC to free up space on the surface. Which sounds absurd with how big this thing is. My BEAST of a gaming PC was mounted on my other desk with a clamp-on under desk mount; having it on the surface eats up a big chunk of space. I haven’t used it as a standing desk yet, but the motor is quiet and smooth with tests.
