Best in-store sales of the year: Deals on office chairs, standing desks, and home office equipment

It’s hard to Find home office furniture that looks great at an affordable price. That’s why you’ll find Brunch products among our top recommendations in many of our guides. Whether it’s an office chair or a standing desk, the company’s products look good, function well, and are affordable. This makes year-over-year sales more attractive.

From now through December 3, you can get 15 percent off sitewide at Branchfurniture.com, and 20 percent off bundles (like if you pair a desk and chair together). You may need to make sure to add the code Pfsm To your cart, even though it should be there automatically. Not sure where to start? I’ve tested many branch products over the years; Here’s what’s worth the money.

Chair offers

This is my top recommendation for most people in our best office chairs guide. There are dozens of cheaper chairs on the market, but it’s hard to find a sub-$500 option that’s comfortable and highly adjustable while also being attractive and offering a variety of style options (Branch now offers this with bouclé upholstery). A headrest is optional — I don’t think you need it — but you can adjust the seat depth, the lumbar support can be aligned and pushed in, and you can tilt the seat forward as well.

On a limited budget? You won’t find a better chair at this $300 price point. The ergonomic chair has many of the same adjustment points as the Pro, including seat depth, and has a similar design. Some of these fine adjustments are not available, such as lumbar pressure or tilting the seat upright. Overall, it won’t keep your back as upright as possible, but if you like to recline a bit, this is a great buy at this price.

I think the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro is the better buy, but the Verve is arguably more stylish. It doesn’t have all the adjustment capabilities of the Pro, and my biggest pet peeve is the fixed arms. It’s comfortable, but not a great option for people who need a wider seat.

Would you like to relax in a chair on a crisp fall day and read a book? That’s pretty much what the Softside feels like. The arms are firm and keep you in place, and there’s not much to adjust in the chair, but it’s very comfortable and cushiony. It’s well designed for the money, but if you’re prone to back pain or generally want to improve your seating experience, you may want to take a look at the ergonomic options above.

I’ve tested many active chairs, and I don’t think they’re worth the money. The experts I spoke to also said that it’s better to go for a walk than to spend your time on one of these wobbly chairs. However, don’t think of the Branch Saddle as an active chair or to “improve posture.” Just think of it as a really cute stool. I like the way the sides slope down, allowing your thighs to rest on them; It’s one of the most comfortable seats I’ve tested. You may not want to spend hours on the saddle, but if you’re at a desk for a short time, this is a nice alternative, and takes up very little space.

Standing desk with four legs

Standing desks can be a bit unsightly due to their standard T-shaped legs. This four-legged desk breaks the mold with an attractive design that makes it look like any other desk. The telescoping legs have motors that smoothly move the desk up and down

Branch’s Duo is a great small desk if space is limited, although the company now has larger size options. I love that this branch has so many accessories designed specifically for this desk, including a desk tray, desk hook, headphone holder, desk chair, and even a drawer. Raising and lowering the desk via paddles is easy, but adjusting the height presets can be difficult.

Adjustable laptop stand

A desk for your laptop This adjustable laptop stand is one of our top recommendations in our best laptop stands guide. It can raise your screen up to 7 inches above a desk, adjusts to almost any viewing angle, and is durable, so your laptop doesn’t bounce or move during use. Adjusting the angles and height takes a little effort, but this makes it more stable.

Another great home office equipment

Beyond desks and office chairs, Branch has many accessories to outfit your workstation. She also doesn’t just sell her own items on her storefront. You can find items from other smaller companies as well. Here are some other good ones I’ve tested that are on sale as well.

Why look for outlets under your desk when you can easily access them on your desktop? Branch Clamp Power is an easy addition to any desk or shelf. You get three AC ports, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port. It’s UL certified, has a six-foot cord, and comes in black or white.

Small filing cabinet

If you need to store physical files or just want some under-desk storage for various odds and ends, the Branch Small File Cabinet doesn’t take up a lot of space. The wheels make it easy to place in the room, and assembly does not take long.

Elin’s most modest desk tray

You may need a lot of empty space for this desk caddy because it’s a lot larger than it looks, but it’s also surprisingly attractive. There are four small areas for your pens and pencils, and then a cavernous room for notebooks and papers you want to store in the front and back. It’s like a tool box for your office! It’s made of aluminum with a white oak handle and comes in several fun colors.

Mustard is made for standard, low and midi cabinets

Mustard Made metal cabinets are expensive, but fairly easy to assemble (it only takes a little time). I’ve tried many sizes and designs of these cabinets, and they are stylish! There are many colors to choose from, and there’s plenty of space inside to accommodate all of your home office equipment (aka board games).
