Colton's built a lot of desks in his life, but this one is special as it's for executives only! Will the desk's walnut top, built-in screen, IO, and various accessories impress the new CEO or is Colton bound to get fired?

For the 2500$ it costs, they could include a friend too in the box at that point.
A friend for 2500 is a major bang for the buck
My whole computer costs less, and is a last gen mid-high tier rig.
For some reason you just made me think of the old LTT intro
or a fleshlight on the side that vibrates.
sadly some POLITICIANS, and i use that term loosly, think owning people is "wrong." PTTF if your poor what other value do you have ha-rum-ph
Never in my life have I thought, "you know what my desk really needs? An app."
also what happened to Wifi and bluetooth? Nope, another fucking account and cloud based app it is.
EXACTLY. And you need to make an account as well? That's a no from me.
@@orderofthebeard Hard pass, here.
Haven't yo always wanted to change the height of your desk from half way around the world? But were foiled by most desk being a single height. Or required you to be AT the desk to move them?
@@robinbegley1077 LMAO well when you put it that way, fair enough 😂
The desk system seems cool, but a lot of the accessories seem like things that should just be included by default especially for the price of this desk. This is like charging $100 extra for cable hole covers.
$100 for two clips to hold a laptop is absurd
@@EthanReesor I specially like the fact, that you have to be extremely sure, where exactly you put those clips (and that your kids etc have not moved them) or you will just drop the laptop through the slot to the floor.
It's not even *like* "charging $100 extra for cable hole covers", that *is* exactly what they're doing. All the accessories are absurdly expensive, even just some simple plastic shapes are between $100-200.
Edit: Did the prices change after this video? I could swear the random plastic lump that's supposed to somehow help you organize cables cost $200 when this video was new, now it's $29 (which is still expensive though) and no accessory was below $1000.
I'm guessing they want to capitalize on the views before they bump up the prices again.
@@Rabarebane Literally how did Colton miss this. The clip needs to be the whole length instead of just 2 brackets for 100$
Don't give apple ideas for an apple desk they would be the ones to charge 100 dollars for cable hole covers just look at their 1000 dollar monitor stand
Yvonne was dead on accurate about the color and the 90s. It specifically made me think of those super cheap pressboard desks with fake finishes they sold at office and computer stores during the 1990s.
@@AbbeyMarieEsp You're thinking of Black Walnut, which is a much better looking wood IMO, but i also agree a truer brown or dark gray like Colton said would be much better.
It looks literally almost the same as my desk, but mine came from the side of the road and I freshened up the finish what what I had from something else which turned it this colour lol, I don't think it's terrible, and it doesn't stand out, but I would expect something a bit better looking than my $0 option for that price
a lot of the ones in the 90's were of a lighter color my grandma and mom each had one took 4 people to move the thing if you didn't want to take off the storage cabinets as they bought the real wood ones damn things cost over 2000 dollars back then.
I had a rather LARGE corner Desk myself and yeah it was something all right particularly when I was using flat LCD monitors on what was basically a Desk made for a single Large CRT to sit int he back corner so it looked rather absurd with 2 LCDs on it LOL. It was basically a small hutch in the corner and since CRTS were 4:3 trying to fit 2 16:9 monitors was NOT going to happen in the space int he hutch so one had to sit off to the side in front of one of the cabinets on the desk. It had 2 cabinets one with drawers and one with just a cabinet and cubbies.
If they offered this in oak, it would look 10x better
The look of joy on Colton’s face when Yvonne said he was an executive ❤
its like when pinocchio gets told hes a real boy
@@IGStevenWHY do you got to do my boi like that Steven? Steven Why?
I love that Colton is LTT OG as it gets, integral to the entire business as much as anyone has been and he cant fathom that he's an executive. Good people.
Surprise, this is the moment he was promoted
Love that he didn't even realise he's considered an executive.
Considering the amount of times he's been fired, I'd assume he'd be on probation not an executive. ;D
Their website calls him "Head of Business Development", he's not a C-level exec like Yvonne or Nick Light.
@@Renee_R343 Who claimed he was? But he is at least as long standing and integral to LTT as Nick.
I do not know the in's and out of youtube history but Colton is responsible for the acquisition of advertisers, LTT was one of the first channels to do in-camera sponsor reels that bipased the youtube profit share problems.
It was also one of the OG channels to use that as a eyeballs for ROI approach that enticed so many brands and so many youtubers take for granted now.
I would love to have a full detailed history of the day by day creativity of channels in the early days of youtube, and I would put a large some of money on the fact that Coltons name would appear many times.
For $2500, you may as well get a Secret lab desk, chair, and a whole PC rig 😂
And not have to log in with your account (which has your real name and address and payment info attached) just to connect with the desk - over their server no less, so once that is down, or you have an internet outage, you can't use most of the functionality of the desk anymore. And everytime you want to lower your desk via your phone, it has to ask the server for permission, please, let me lower myself! (Imagine that in whatever voice you please)
@@vocassen you can do the desk hight adjustment without the app too
@@marvinvogtde But doubt you can do the preset setup (sitting, standing), which is basically essential, and most of the other features can't be controlled otherwise. So, the app is basically required or you could have gone for a MUCH cheaper product (besides build quality). There is no reason the desk should connect to the phone with anything but Bluetooth LE and there is no reason the app should require you to sign in
For $2500 I wouldn't waste my money on Secret Lab chair lmao.
If I had 2500£ to waste on office furniture, I'd get a steelcase chair instead.
A desk that requires an account and firmware upgrades is just waiting to be dead wood
Edit: It's even worse, it needs to be connected to wifi, and then they connect through a central server it seems. So once that server is down, your desk doesn't connect to your phone anymore, loosing most of the functionality. They can also see all your settings and current state. Ofc you need to connect with your account you used to purchase, so they know your real name and address of the desk. They plot the desks on a map and their current height and notice how, in the afternoon, the desks lower in a wave across the united states as the sun sets and people turn from standing work to sitting leisure - oh wait, wrong script
Edit 2: Manual indicates wifi connection is optional, website FAQ was just pushing Wifi a lot. Seems you can use all features with just bluetooth (and the internet connection would then be done over the phone). With this, I cannot conclude whether or not all action on the desk will be reported to a server (though I wouldn't be surprised for analytics). I just hope you can use a separate account from ordering (though that would require two email addresses) to log into the app (which is still mandatory). Would still avoid, since it requires an account, it is still very likely the app has been (intentionally or not) programmed in a way that will break once servers go down or there is no connection for more than a few days. Would be cool if they tested it, have a phone log in, disconnect from the network for a week, and see if everything still works

@@cashnelson2306 We're not in class here. Since you were able to correct them, I assume you understood what they ment.
@@Xiph1980 I was going to comment the same thing as @cashelson2306 here, but they beat me to it
I think you dont need the app to use its basic functionality. But I agree with your statement in general. I have so many devices connected to some server, not sure if I want my table to be one of them.
I see bluetooth symbol here 6:55, you can connect it with bluetooth I think
Always nice to see ex employees guest feature on this channel :)
They had to bring Colton back to give Terren a chance to fire him.
Bro you have no idea how ironic this comment is 🤣
Not only did they hire him back, they made him an executive right on camera. Congrats, Colton!
@@sprayartist8459 I also have no idea how ironic it is
@@DantesGrill same, I feel like I'm missing some inside joke
“That did not feel like 15 minutes” yup that’s special relativity, since Colton is closer to earth than other staff members at ltt he experiences time faster than his peers :)
that's why he looks older *mind blown*
* GENERAL relativity. More precisely, time goes slower for him since he is closer to the centre of the earth and is in a stronger gravitational field. Therefore, yes, Colton would see our 15 mins seem to happen faster. To us, he ages LESS quickly and would be younger than everyone else.
Actually LOL, I did not see that coming. That's funny af.
@@martinschalken7583 guess the air up here is much more fresh... Until the smokers smoke around you...
As a 175~cm Asian....
"your an executive !
wait i am ? holy shit!"
i had a laught lol
The way they labeled the screws is kinda genius, I'm very used to "screw B" being used in steps 1 and 12 or whatever
for 2500$ they better have morgan freeman narrate me through the setup process
I bet it sucks if they have to revise the instructions at all but I guess that is what you get for $2500
I've lived in Canada and I can tell folks here that Colton is a classic example of a BC Lower Mainland Canadian.
"I'm an executive?"
I like how Yvonne really rubbed the fact that Colton is fired to his face by calling him an executive.
Your desk at home is the exact desk they gave me at work. I never actually use it as a standing desk cause it distracts the entire sales floor every time I adjust it 😂
Yvonne is a gem and I'd love to see more of her.
So happy the desk builder made a friend, they should hire that man, had some good talking points😂
Nah! the Secret Lab's desk feels something that they actually thought of to solve problems like cable management and stiff.
this is just a normal desk with APP CONNECTIVITY.
I love Math with Colton, I hope we'll se this segment more in the future
Love Colton reviews
I love the desk reviews you guys do but is it possible to ever have a racing wheel test be a part of them? I want to know how the desks you review hold up to the violent turning of a steering wheel, i think it would be a really good use-case test of their sturdiness.
Wait… was she serious?! Is Colton an executive?! 😊
Iirc, he heads their entire business team, so yeah
Some guy in the past "In the future, we'll have flying cars!".
Actual future: Desks that have firmware and need to connect to an app.
"We have a crack here, not sure if it was in shipping or anything but we should get in touch with them"
shows Colton just...dropping the whole damned thing in the first five seconds (though in all fairness it wouldn't surprise me if shipping was rough)
Also for that kind of money...I'd just buy a mahogany secretary desk and be done with it, and still have money left over to have movers install it for me
And your solid mahogany desk would not crack even if the movers beat the crap out of it.
@@XDSDDLord at worst...a scratch, which is relatively easy to deal with, or hell, even a chip on a corner, again, easy to deal with.
but then it can't rise or lower. that's what you are paying for.
Yep, $2500 for a desk is a SHITLOAD of money even here in Australia, and our dollar is worth 4/5ths of fuck-all.
Imagine your wifi desk being the attack vector into your internal network.
The one issue I see is due to the beveled edges and frame under the desk it would be almost impossible to us any type clamp mount for monitors, microphones, etc... Other than that it looks like a really nice, clean desk.
you can clamp those to the crevice in the desktop.
The sweetwater ad was unexpected but pleasant! I can vouch that they are a great company with their customer service 💯
That is a neat desk and I love the idea of that laptop thingy. But 99$ (or well technically 399 because you need that chunk of stone as well for that) just for that addon when I already paid 2.5-3k for the table? Don't know about that. Feels like this could be part of the bundle or at least be a bit cheaper.
I got the Magnus Pro XL and one of my favorite things about it is the single cord from it to the wall. The power delivery up to the top is just really nice to have.
Everyone loves a big fancy desk review
Math with Colton was the best bit ever
Ayyyy Colton has 2 friends now! Very proud 💮🌸
Installs Valley accessory that can hold papers. Then proceeds to take all the instruction paperwork and throw it on the floor.
Would love more desks videos. The free banged up dining table my neighbors gave me when they moved out is nice but I'm looking for a new sturdy desk!
Yvonne is the sharpest woman Ive ever seen in my life. Literally every word that comes out of her mouth has 100% accuracy without a hint of thought or stutter
What I learned from this video is, "Colton is here for it."
We need more Colton in videos
Always enjoy videos with this Colton guy. Should probably hire him at some point tho
I frigging love Colton, his energy is just perfect!!
Always wondered how LTT picks the hosts for certain videos. Like Colton with all the desk/chair videos.
Imagine creating an account to use your desk.
I’ve missed Colton, glad to see him in another video
Yay, Colton still has a job! Good work Colton!
For that price it should have some sort of built-in monitor arm mounting
All that stuff on the side makes it look like one of those cheap Amazon/AliExpress desks
Colton nail it in this video! Very funny and very informative at the same time! 🎉
Love the edits on this one!
I wonder… if Colton was the CEO… would he fire Linus?😊
This is a cool desk but I wish they would provide 3d printable files for most of the "accessories"
I love Colton, please don't get fired again :(
props to the editor for this episode, well for all of them, but this one was great
The fact that Colton just didn't even know he is an executive made me laugh far harder then it should've
"Contents may be heavy"
Man, _you don't say._ Snark aside, I do enjoy a bit of desk coverage. Can we get more L shaped big desks, though? I got one and I loooove the space afforded by them.
Glad to see a sweetwater promo. Their customer service is unmatched.
I like his chaotic vibe
Let’s be honest Colton could host a segment called “___ is too good for me” and it’ll always be accurate and he knows it
_emotional damage_
The secret labs magnus desk looks mighty attractive compared to this desk at $900
Psh... Cheap secret lab desk probably doesn't even have an app... How can you even 2023 like that?
I like the subtle nod to jet lag
Math with Colton is my fave LMG channel
It's sad they fired Colten after this. He was a good executive.
I love how people are fully willing to pay more money, so something has a “Premium” feel while definitely not being actually premium for the price. Then all the accessories are overpriced and most of them should be included.
I get that they are propositioning this as a high end desk. Plus a lot of people who work from home can get thier company to just buy it for them and write it off. So if that's who they are targeting the price point probably works.
But if you are going to sell a $2,500 desk, I don't think the default finish should be "Grey Plywood." Nothing screams fancy like plywood lmao.
I want more "Math with Colton". I learned a lot!!!!
You know you're a dad when you watch people building desks for fun
I'm not a dad but I'm watching this for fun in the middle of the night lol
First I thought the desk was highway robbery. Than I saw the accessory cost and the desk seemed downright reasonable
Then you saw you had to give up all sense of privacy and self-respect by connecting it to their server just to have your phone control it, with an account required that contains your real name and address and payment info, just so it can ask the server for permission to lower itself whenever the phone requests it, and you realise, it IS robbery, you don't even own the damn thing!
@@vocassen I mean I am on board with most of what you say but you clearly own it and can access pretty much all features without having the app or an account.
Not all features probably but it's not like you lose the functionality of changing the height or the light if you dont have an account
@@Sadreath From their website it sounds like you loose all access to the app, and it also looks like you require the app to change the light color. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And I consider stuff like setting correct sitting/standing presets an essential feature, lest you will sit there fumbling about every time to get the height just right
@@vocassenyou can just use Bluetooth with the desk
yay Colten is back!
0:33 the way the packaging started falling apart immediately lmao 😂
I don't know how they managed to over engineer a desk, but they did it
I don't see how it's over engineered. It's got a lot of bling and tech but nothing really exceptional
Because there is a very specific market that only cares about throwing away money on pointless things when they are told they are "premium", and they have nailed that market with this desk.
Basically its for Apple/Mac fanboys.
Where is the over-engineering? All I see is excessive data theft, and a regular desk
@@rustler08 Ha Ha... rustler08, you are spot on there! 😂
Easily done when people try to make a product "smart" or "gamer".
Not a good sign at all for longevity if there is the need for an account, and firmware upgrades.
There are products for which I understand it, but a desk.
That is in my opinion getting silly.
everything is too good for him 😢
For certain things touchscreen controls are fine. Usually for things that are rarely used or that obviously needs attention. For a sit/stand desk though? That should just be tactile dedicated buttons for up/down and possibly profiles.
To my mind, having to go through a display to change the height setting is like having to use a touch screen to use the blinkers in a car.
I wish the 4-leg design was more common on height adjustable desks, but I understand that it makes the cost much higher. One just rarely gets the same stability at standing height with the "T" or "C" legs.
Great video and a nice looking desk -- but WAY overpriced for what it is. The second you mentioned the desk has an app, I rolled my eyes -- and then for the first time in my life I saw a desk needing a firmware upgrade and I laughed. Account required to use the $2000 desk I just bought? Yeahno.
Nobody said you HAVE to use the app
Glad you guys could hire a freelancer to review stuff.
Colton: “I’m an executive!?”
Us: Weren’t you fired??
🤣
Love it, great review and the deck is looking mighty
$2500 and it doesn't even do high power type A and C
Can we have more videos with Colton please? He's such a good host (better than Linus imo)
The first standing desk I have actually been interested in. Imagine integrating this with HomeAssistant so that when I'm on the way back from walking the dog it's already in standing mode. That would be fantastic.
Isn't Colton due for an AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade? (and maybe the other people who got their builds during the first part of the series like Emily?)
Welcome back!
When putting anything together you put in all the screws before you tighten them, it help to line them all up.
Thanks Colton.
Colton saying "I'm an executive?" killed me
3:46 a LTT screwdriver zoom in 😍
Next time Colton reviews a desk with a privacy filter, he should wear a kilt or a sarong
I need more MATH with Colton segments
Love how Colton lights up when he hears Yvonne say he's an executive.
Colton looking very executive in the closing shot 💯🙏😎
Imagine, being tired after a long day of hard work. You put your laptop in the slot a little too far to the wrong side and there it goes. Straight through!
Petition to make "Math wth Colton" a new LTT series
thumbs up for the yvonne cameo hahaha was honestly expecting linus lol
You all should review the wyrmwood desks!
More Colton please
this felt very much like an unbox therapy video
I was not expecting a sweetwater sponsership on an LTT video. Sweetwater rocks. The desk looks pretty good too.
When putting together furniture, start the screws for each step, after each screw is halfway in, then go back and tighten the said screws for that step, prior to going to the next step. It's like putting a tire on, you start each nut (screw), then you snug each nut (screw), then you tighten each nut (screw). It may sound OCD, but it works every time and all holes line up.
Nice looking desk, just out of my price range for a prebuilt desk. I am with you on buying a $400 mouse and yet as for a desk that is under all the most important functioning items, I would spend $500 max for a prebuilt desk, unless I build one then I'll spend $4000 in the making of all the items I would want in a desk.
Thanks for the video.
More Colton!
11:58 imagine that someone would steal the holders as a prank from below making the laptop fall down drastically on it's edge
Congratulations on the promotion Colton. Please don't get fired!
Love seeing Colton find out he's an executive on video
