 This is the everyday desk I use in the studio along with the live streams for hot make actually It's a very thin metal desk, and it's not great from what I'm doing and everything rocks Today, we're gonna fix that my name is Jim and this is the edge of tech So like I said, this is the desk I use for all my day-to-day stuff Whether it's slicing models or putting videos together or even the live streams every Monday night on hot makes when I got the studio I found some really cheap metal desks and that was working okay, but it's just not great for what I'm doing my monitor stand here Really rocks back and forth the camera as well. So when I'm doing live streams, and I'm very animated, which I am I Hit this thing and everything kind of shakes, and it's just not great Along with that. It's just stuff is falling off below. It didn't stay Velcroed up I had dual lock Velcro strips up, and it just didn't stay up and You know I just kind of wanted to do something different Well my friends over at ewin emailed me and asked if I wanted to check out a desk and of course I'm all about upgrading so I paid the price of shipping They sent me a brand new desk, and I'm really pumped to put it in a place of this one and see how it goes There's a lot of cool features on this new desk, and I'm actually really excited to share them with you But what I'm gonna do is kind of take this all apart I'm gonna drop the new desk in put everything back on it, and then we'll talk about the new desk and how it looks for you That'll be right now so what I'm gonna do there is when I get everything else put on I'll do this and We'll maybe do like a transition snap thing, and it'll be all new and poof just like that the desk is now here It is almost Completely wired and it looks great. I gotta say I absolutely love the look of this desk It looks really nice. It's much much better built than that metal Desk that I was using it's much thicker the monitors are on here, and unless I move the whole desk They don't even rock which is great I'm not completely done with this because I use some bad Velcro for putting stuff up underneath the desk and it started falling, so I'm gonna redo all that But that's nothing to do with the desk or the quality or anything itself It's all to do with the garbage Velcro used and the bad adhesive so let's check out the desk a little closer The ewin desk came really nicely packaged Shipping was fast. Nothing was damaged inside, and it actually came unharmed, which is kind of unheard of But pop open the top you can see it is surrounded in black foam, which is great Everything has got its place on the top was this giant card and actually it is the whole instruction manual right here As you can see in the picture. It is pretty cool that they did it like this. It's really big It's super easy to read and not a bad idea. I just tossed that right in the packaging it just took me a few minutes to get everything unpackaged and This desk actually builds in 10 minutes or less it is so fast It is literally like 11 bolts and that's all you need as you can see from this picture The desk is super solid the legs on this desk They're nice metal and they bolt in super secure, and it doesn't wobble. It doesn't move. It's a very very solid desk I actually had the desk inside of the packaging still and I bolted everything on there So I wouldn't damage the top and assembly was just crazy easy once I got it assembled I plugged in the included USB and audio jack adapter straight into my computer and as you can see from this picture The lights came on they're bright. They're pretty cool There's lights down the side of the leg and along the side of the desk here and they're on then they're bright Like I said more on that in a minute. So included also as a headphone holder. You can see it right here I actually don't use headphones in the studio usually so I just kind of folded that in On the other side on the other side behind me is actually a drink holder. I love that I've been using it the last two hot makes when we use this I actually was able to throw my drinks right in there It holds a large large Beverage or something small just like a can a quick side note This does not need to be loose like this. There is a bolt that you can tighten Up underneath here, and it should be tightened I had just loosened it up when I was kind of swiveling it around like I said I usually keep it kind of folded back because I'm not gonna use it So as you can kind of see from the top here, it does have a carbon fiber finish It is really nice. I really like the feel of this desk. I I like that I can wipe it off if it does get a little dirty. I like that. It's smooth I like that. I don't have to have a giant mouse pad You can if you want to but with this top you wouldn't need to just build quality overall I would have to get this a 10 out of 10 this the build quality on this desk is very very nice full disclosure I paid $60 for the shipping of the desk and that's all they charge me I didn't pay for anything else and so they sent me the desk I paid for the shipping which was $60 They were gonna reimburse me if I sold three or more of desks through a link that I'm gonna put in the description below So if I do sell three or more they're gonna reimburse that $60 if not I get to keep the desk free charge for doing this video So we talked a minute to go about the lights now. I was super excited to get RGB lights on a desk everything else I can recommend about this desk the fit the finish the Sturdiness in the back here. There's a grommet hole on the other side something I forgot to talk about there's actually a Wireless charging pad and it spins and it reveals a USB port that you can charge things as well There is something about this desk Just ran into it that I might consider a showstopper for some of you It is the lights the lights are cool. They're RGB. They're fun. They're bright but They're supposed to work when their sound and when they're sound only In my case, there's no sound and they're on right now and they don't turn off ever I don't I don't want that I would be okay with the sound thing if it was just activated with sound I would be even better if it had like a remote control and you could change the patterns and the colors and all that cool stuff You can't do that So there's that now I did write the company I reached out to the person who reached out to me and I said hey this is going on I even sent them a video of me plugging it in and showing the lights going and the response I got was that this is normal that these are how the new controllers work It's a different controller than they used before There's a little disclaimer on the page that shows that it could be different, which is fine The problem I have is that they never turn off unless I unplug them So I got to reach under and unplug the cables every time I want to turn them off I just think they could do better This isn't a cheap desk and I think that for the price they could do better They could find a better controller. They could make these lights even cooler They could you know make them on-demand or remote control or whatever you want And I think that would be like the icing on the cake because even you have a really nice desk here I like that. They're on. I like that. They're bright. I like they're nice They're gonna be really cool, and I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take there's a control box underneath I'm gonna take the cover off and see what kind of plugs it uses and I'm gonna find a different control box I'm gonna put that in. I think this will be much much better of a desk. Maybe I'll do a follow-up video I'm not sure. I think that if you're looking for a desk if this is in your price range Check the description below.
