Branch

A first standing desk — Branch, and the honest middle of ergonomic furniture

A record on the desk and chair from the Study & workshop shelf. Branch is not the chair you keep for a decade — it is the honest middle: a dual-motor sit-stand desk with a ten-year, all-inclusive warranty at $549, and a $359 chair backed for seven. Where it fits between a $150 flat-pack and an $1,800 Steelcase, its real weaknesses, and who should buy.
