Desks, chairs and setup

4 guides in this topic

The desk and chair underneath your monitor matter as much as anything on top of it: hours spent sitting badly show up as back and wrist pain long before any equipment upgrade would help. A sit-stand desk lets you alternate positions through the day, which matters more for comfort than any specific desk height. An ergonomic chair supports your lower back and lets your feet sit flat on the floor; monitor arms free up desk space and get a screen to eye level, which a stack of books never quite achieves. The right setup depends on your room, your budget and how long you actually sit still. We recommend desks, chairs and accessories based on real ergonomics and day-long comfort, not showroom looks.
