Introducing the FlexiSpot Pro Plus Mesh Chair OC14 After seeing the price of some ergonomic chairs pass the $2,000 mark, I began to wonder if I’d ever get another chair to replace the trusty old one that I’ve had for 20+ years.

This one desk can take the place of four distinct worksurfaces - changing from one to the other at the touch of a button.

I’ve only had the desk for less than a month now, but Wow, the Comhar Pro Q8 standing desk far exceeded my expectations. Little did I realize there would be occasions when four user-programmed height settings would be necessary. I thought those were just for households or offices where multiple people would be using it, and they could each program their unique sit and stand heights. Since I’m…
