- Every chair, desk, and arm is purchased at retail and tested for at least 60 days; manufacturer samples are not accepted.
- Each product is evaluated across 8 body types (height + weight + sitting style) and 3 working styles (focused-typing, meeting-heavy, mixed) — never reduced to an average user.
- Ergonomic claims are checked against current OT/PT guidance and our reviewer's clinical training; we cite the source for any pain or posture claim.
- We name the price-quality cliff for each category — the point above which more dollars stop buying more comfort — and tell you when the cheaper pick wins.
- Partner links use the retailer where we actually bought the product; we do not chase the highest commission rate.
- Pulled-from-rotation picks are tracked in a public 'no longer recommended' archive with the reason and the date.
