Lift capacity, height range, motors, seat height and depth, armrests, weight ratings and warranty. ErgoPick reads each maker's spec sheet and ranks standing desks, ergonomic chairs, gaming chairs and monitor arms with the weights printed on every page. 4 categories, 60 products, 39 head-to-heads.

How it works

1. The maker's spec table

Every figure comes from the manufacturer's own product or spec page, linked on the product card. Most desk makers don't publish lift speed and Sihoo doesn't publish seat heights, so those cells stay blank and score as the weakest published value.

2. Different jobs, different weights

Desks are weighted toward lift capacity, height travel and warranty; chairs toward weight rating, warranty and seat depth travel; monitor arms toward monitor weight and height adjustment.

3. Match it to your body

A 5'2" user and a 6'5" user need different desks and chairs. Use the guides, then check the price on Amazon. Commissions never change the order.
