Not just a sturdy platform for your gaming rig, the Secretlab Magnus Pro is also a good-looking piece of furniture that’s sure to turn some heads. Its real charm comes from its excellent cable management options, its ability to house the heaviest PC builds, and plenty of desktop real estate. It also includes an internal power supply, electric height adjustment, and a built-in control panel for easy operation. The height adjustment is key, as it allows the Magnus Pro to double as a standing desk. It may have a premium price, but there’s no mistaking the premium look, finish, and feel of this desk.

While we’re giving the Magnus Pro our top rank here, there are two additional versions of the desk worth considering. First is the basic Magnus desk, which is much more affordable than the Pro and features the same sturdy design and helpful cable management solutions, but is a sitting-only option. Then there’s the Magnus Pro XL. It’s even priver and clocks in just under $1,000, but it gives you additional width and height–making it easy to fit all your gear. Folks with multiple monitors or a massive ultrawide display will get the most mileage out of the added real estate, although it’s also a great option for someone who has amassed a small army of collectibles and figurines and wants to display them around their battlestation.

All three Magnus desks are great options out fo the box, Secretlab gives you plenty of ways to customize their look and performance with a long list of accessories. This includes headset hangers, bumpers, monitor mounting arms, and a selection of unique Magpad Desk Mats, which is a full-length cover that acts as a premium oversized mouse pad and comes in a wide variety of styles, allowing you to kit out your desktop with gear from Valorant, Cyberpunk 2077, and other iconic games. You could also pair the desk with Secretlab’s Titan Evo or Titan Evo Lite, which are our picks for the best gaming chairs available right now.

If you’re looking for the best gaming desk to fill your space and support your gaming equipment, you can’t go wrong with Eureka’s series of ergonomic desks. The Eureka Z1-S is the standout option–this sturdy desk features a Z-shaped metal frame with an F1 balancing lever near the top of each leg to help stabilize the desk and prevent it from wobbling. It also has four adjustable feet to further help you level the desk. With a length of 44.5 inches, the Eureka Z1-S gaming desk is ideal for a single-monitor setup (although you could certainly fit two smaller ones) and perfect for rooms where space is at a premium.

Bonus features make this desk even more worthwhile–notably, it comes with RGB lighting on the sides. All you have to do is plug a USB cable into your gaming PC or laptop to power it. The Eureka Z1-S has eight different lighting modes and six different colors so you can customize the effects to your liking. It also features a handy controller stand, a cup holder, cable management grommets, and a headphone hook on the left side. This gaming desk also comes with a large removable mouse pad.

One drawback: The Eureka Z1-S doesn’t come with a built-in retractable keyboard tray; instead, Eureka sells it separately for $100. Considering a retractable keyboard tray greatly improves the ergonomics of this desk, it’s a shame the feature doesn’t come built-in, but it does leave you with options on how much you want to spend. After trying out the Eureka Z1-S, it’s possible you won’t miss this feature at all.

If you’re looking for an ultrawide desk but don’t need a standing option, then Arozzi’s Arena Special Edition desk is our suggestion. The desktop is engineered with an ergonomic curved cutout so you can scoot closer in while sitting. There are also three cutouts for monitor arm attachment and cable pass-through, plus an under-desk mesh basket for additional cord management. The desk comes standard with a full-surface mouse pad that matches the curved shape of the desk and aligns with the mount punchouts. The mouse pad is water-resistant and machine-washable.

The desk stands on sturdy steel legs and offers adjustable height options between 28 to 32 inches tall, which should provide enough leg room for most users, and supports up to 176lbs, so it should be able to easily support multiple monitors and other devices–though if you’re looking for something that can withstand heavier equipment, you may want to check out some of the more robust options on this list. Nevertheless, this is a big, spacious sitting desk that looks cool and can handle most gaming and home office needs.

Looking for a smaller desk to fit into a tight room, office, or dorm? Consider checking out the Homall Gaming Desk, which is just 44 inches long and should be able to accommodate even the most cramped of spaces.

One of the best things about the Homall Gaming Desk is all the available color options. From pink and white to red and black, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. The desk’s price is bound to catch your eye too, as it clocks in right around $100–and is often on sale for less. But despite its affordable price, it packs in some cool features, such as a carbon fiber texture, headphone hook, and cup holder.

While it’s probably not ideal for large displays or gaming rigs with tons of accessories, the Homall Gaming Desk is a solid entry-level product. And since it’s difficult to find gaming desktops this small, it’s definitely worth considering if you’re working with a tight space.

Gaming for long periods of time requires not just comfort, but proper ergonomics that will keep your limbs and joints free of strain or injury. This gaming table from HLDirect features a cutout tabletop design that lets you scoot closer in so your hands and wrists rest comfortably in an ideal ergonomic placement. The large desktop is 55 inches wide and 23.6 inches deep, so its big enough to support multiple monitors, and its two metal Z frame legs can support a 150lb maximum load capacity, meaning you can safely store a standard gaming setup. The desktop also comes with a large protective mouse pad, RBG lighting, a drink holder, and a headphone hook.

ErGear’s adjustable electric standing desk is sleek and simple. While it lacks some features that a gaming-focused audience may want–notably there’s no RGB lighting or built-in charging hubs–the draw of this desk is it’s reliable design and smooth, easy-to-use controls. The adjustable height mechanism uses an electric motor that repositions the desk from as low as 28.35 inches to a maximum 46.5 inches tall. The control panel feature three programmable height presets so you can quickly dial-in your preferred height and swap between them quickly. The solid steel frame uses aerospace-grade lifting column connectors that can support up to 176 lbs and maintain stability even when extended to its full height.

The wood tabletop on the model we’re including in this list is 55 inches wide by 28 inches deep, which is an excellent choice if you want a spacious desk that can support multiple monitors and your PC or consoles, but there are several other sizing options available if you want something smaller (40 inches by 24 inches) or even a bit larger (up to 63 inches by 28 inches). The desk includes two storage hooks for hanging headphones, headsets, bags, or other gear. An optional monitor mounting arm is also available as an additional purchase.

If your gaming desk doubles as a work station, then you might be best served by a standing desk–and few are as highly reviewed as the Flexispot E7 Pro Plus. Available in a wide variety of designs (including Solid Wood and Bamboo), this sturdy desk is highly adjustable and can support a staggering 355 pounds, making it a great option for games with a heavy rig.

Its weight capacity of 355 pounds is even more impressive when you realize that its height is so adjustable that it can accommodate users between the heights of 4’2” all the way to 6’4”. That’s no small feat, and one that gives the Flexispot a leg up on most of the competition.

Other notable features included an embedded cable tray, an optional under-desk drawer, and programmable height presets for easy operation. It’s not cheap (you can easily spend over $600 depending on your configuration), but no doubt you’re getting a premium product.

L-shaped desks are a great choice for expanding your work or gaming space. The extra space lets you spread out your gaming or work setups, making for a more comfortable and versatile desktop. However, some L-shaped desks are essentially two large desks shoved together, and that’s not always ideal. Instead, we recommend the Eureka L60 Gaming Desk. The desk is essentially an ultra-wide desk with a small bonus flange where you can set up secondary equipment like a bonus monitor, a laptop, a drawing tablet–really anything that fits its 32.6-inch wide dimensions. While it’s not as large as other L-shaped options (including several on this list) the entire tabletop comes as a single piece, making for a stable setup that can golf up to 170 lbs. You can also select whether you want the L flange on the left or right side of the desk.

As a bonus pick, we would also recommend the Eureka L60 gaming desk, which features similar dimensions but with a four-legged base design and slightly lower price tag.

This L-shaped desk from Mr. Ironstone comes in four different colors, including the all-black one shown above. It measures 50.8 inches in both directions and is 18.2 inches deep. You can count on it to be extremely sturdy and stable thanks to its X-shaped support bars, adjustable feet, and six separate legs to hold it upright. The bars along the bottom are also designed to be a footrest if you’d like, although if you have long legs, you could end up feeling cramped.

The appeal of an L-shaped gaming desk is obviously the amount of surface area and support it offers, and this Mr. Ironstone desk gets the job done well. It can support two to three monitors plus your gaming PC or console without fear of anything collapsing, and it has an optional monitor stand to make it even more space-efficient. The bevel edge in the middle is cleverly designed to offer room for cables to slide down between the desk and the wall corner. For less than 100 bucks, the Mr. Ironstone L-shaped gaming desk is one of the best we’ve found.

Finding a reliable gaming desk under $100 isn’t easy, but the Homall L Shaped Gaming Desk manages to punch well above its price tag. The best thing about this budget product is its shape, which is designed to fit into the corner of your room and provide you with tons of space.

It also looks surprisingly great, featuring a carbon fiber appearance and unique Z-shape framing for added stability. There’s even a detachable monitor stand, allowing you to free up additional desk space for all your accessories or paperwork. Aside from those features, it offers everything else you’d expect from a reliable gaming desk–such as adjustable foot pads and solid construction.

Its L-shaped footprint might not fit all game rooms, but if you can find space for it in your home, there’s a lot to love about this unique gaming desk.

Specifications

• Depth: 59.5 inches
• Height: 30 inches
• Weight capacity: 200 lbs
• Materials: Engineered wood
• Notable features: 4-port USB hub; four storage drawers; built-in wire management

Sometimes, you just want drawers to put stuff in. The problem: Most gaming desks don’t have them. If you’re looking for a more traditional-looking office desk that can also be used for gaming, this Bush Furniture L-shaped desk is a solid option, although it’ll put you on the pricier end of the spectrum. For just over $300, you get a full 60 inches of workspace on either side, with the surface measuring 24 inches deep on the left side and 20 inches on the right. That’s plenty of space to put your monitors, gaming PC, console(s), keyboard, and anything else you might need. The desk can hold up to 200 pounds of weight, so you don’t have to worry about this one collapsing. It also features a four-port USB hub and a soft tray in an open cubby for storing and charging small devices, which is quite handy.

This Bush Furniture desk gets you extra storage space for your gaming equipment, with two drawers on one side and a concealed storage cabinet with a fluted glass door on the other side. These offer a great place to store extra gaming accessories, cords, games, and even your CPU tower if you want. Keep in mind this isn’t solid wood, but rather engineered wood, so it’ll show scratches and damage easier, but the dark espresso finish still gives it a nice look, even if it probably won’t match your gaming chair color scheme.

While bigger L-shaped desks are awesome if you have the space, many are essentially just two large desktops fused together, leading to a big footprints that aren’t feasible for everyone–or even all that necessary. If you want an L-shaped tabletop but need it to fit a smaller room, then the Bestier small gaming desk is worth checking out. Not only is it a great compact option, it’s also packing tons of built-in storage features in its deceptively small frame.

The tabletop only measure 42 inches at its widest point, with 31.5-inch and 10.5-inch interior edges. It’s also 30 inches tall, but comes with a detachable six-inch tall monitor stand you can add for extra height or storage. The shelf also has built-in RGB lighting that you can sync to your preferred RGB desktop app, or use it as a lamp to illumate your keyboard or work surface. The other bonus storage spots are all under the desk–there are two metal shelves that are perfect for placing your gaming rig or consoles and a headphone hook. Topping it all off–literally–is a charging hub built directly into the tabletop.

Specifications

Coleshome’s 66-inch L-shaped gaming desk is our recommendation if you want to go all-in on an L-shaped tabletop. It’s easiest to imagine it as two desktop–one side measure 66 inches wide, while the other is 47 inches, and the whole thing stands 28.5 inches tall. You’ll need plenty of space for this one, but it’ll make for a highly versatile desk. You could spread your PC gaming setup on one whing, while the other could be for work, hobbies, art… or your console setup. You’re probably starting to see the appeal, here.

Not only is the MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) wood tabletop big enough to store your monitors, keyboard, PC, and a whole host of other devices, but it’s also scratch- and water-resistant. The desk has a 220 lb weight capacity thanks to its metal base, which should be plenty to support most setups, and has adjustable feet so you can secure the legs even on uneven floors.

Specifications

• Width: up to 70 inches
• Depth: up to 29 inches
• Height: Adjustable 24-50 inches;
• Weight capacity: 300lbs

There are many sturdy desks out there, but the Mojo Gamer Pro is a fortress that can withstand heavy use. It is built with durable materials, has a high 300lb weight capacity, and has an array of helpful built-in storage and cable management features. It’s admittedly on the more expensive end of the spectrum and doesn’t have many « gamer » features some may want–notably no RBG lighting or extra charging ports–but this is the desk for anyone with complex gaming or streaming setups that necessitates a big, sturdy desktop.

The Mojo Gamer pro comes in three desktop sizes: 46×27 inches, 58×27 inches, and 70×29 inches. Each wooden desktop features a scratch- and spill-resistant coating and pre-drilled cable management grommets with protective gaskets. It’s also shaped with an ergonomic curve for resting your wrists. Each model includes a monitor arm, magnetic steel cable tray, magnetic six-outlet power bar, wire management kit, and an under-desk PC mount.

This is another sit-stand option that uses a smooth electric adjustment mechanism that can shift between 24 and 50 inches tall. Some reviews mention the controls are very sensitive, so it’s worth keeping in mind. On the plus side, it includes a lock button on the control panel as well as a digital height readout screen and four programmable height presets.

The Mojo Gamer Pro is available in matte black, matte charcoal, Carbon Fiber (dark gray), and white desktop colors, and black or gray bases.

Specifications

The Herman Miller X Logitech G Motia is a luxury gaming desk with a price tag to match. It costs much more than some of the other desks on this list, but its quality justifies the investment. And thanks to its generous warranty–up to 12 years for the desktop surface, the base, and all electrical parts and moving mechanism–that investment will be safe for years to come.

The Motia is a sturdy, durable desk with a sophisticated and understated look–not something you normally expect from a « gaming » accessory. The Motia comes in black and white color options, both of which feature a smudge-proof, anti-glare tabletop and a sleek sit-to-stand mechanism powered by electric motors and telescoping leg supports. The controls for changing height are simple to use, too–maybe too simple, in fact. Unlike some other sit-stand desks, the Motia lacks programmable memory buttons. It also does not include extra USB ports like other desks, and doesn’t come with the necessary tools for setup in the box.

However, those omissions are the only real drawbacks of this desk. If it fits in your budget–and that’s a big if–and you are looking for something that’s sturdy and backed by the best-possible warranty, you’ll be hardpressed to find a better option than the Motia.

Specifications

• Width: 30 inches

The benefits of a standing desk are well-documented, but buying one—especially a sit-stand desk—is expensive. Luckily, there are simple alternatives that you can add to your existing sitting-only desk that convert it into a sit-stand desk. While many of these cost a lot less than buying an entire desk, one of the most affordable is Varidesk’s Essential Vertical Lift 30.

While the Varidesk Essential Vertical Life 30 is much smaller than other desks on this list, and its 25lb maximum weight limit means you won’t be able to put much more than your monitor or laptop on it, the slimmer dimensions have benefits, too. Namely, it’s small enough to fit on most desks, tables, counters, or other flat surfaces. Plus, being so light means you can move it around or remove it if needed.

When it’s sitting flat, the desk adds an additional 4.75 inches to your desk. The maximum 19.5-inch height might sound shorter than other desks, but remember that this is in addition to your existing desktop. So if your desk is already 25 inchs tall, this can increase the height to nearly 45 inches. Adjustments are made with the single-handle pneumatic gas spring. The metal base is wide enough to keep the desk stable even when the height is fully extended.

The desktop is black MDF (medium-density fiberboard) plywood with a laminated finish that gives the desk a simple, sleek look and also easy to clean. It also has sloped edges, which help keep your hands and wrists comfortable while working or gaming.
