Boulies MagVida Standing Desk Review

Boulies is no stranger to a review here at KitGuru in recent years, but we've only ever looked at the company's chairs. That changes today as we assess the Magvida dual-motor electronic sit stand desk. It features what Boulies call the EMO system (Expandable Magnetic Organisation) which allows add-ons and attachments to be stuck to the underside of the desktop… But can a chair company make a decent desk?

Pros:

• EMO magnetic mounting system is clever and convenient.
• Legs and frame feel solid.
• Cable management tray works well.

Cons:

• Too much wobble when at full height.
• Instruction manual needs a proof read and polish.
• Magnetic silicone cable straps do not have strong enough magnets for any substantial amount of cables.
• Expensive when at full RRP when considering the MDF desktop.
• Screws are low quality and thread easily.

KitGuru says: The MagVida is a decent desk let down by too much wobble and poor quality screws. We'd only consider it when on sale.
