Best Cyber Monday office chair and desk deals
Sure, you could build a box fort on top of your kitchen table, but a standing desk and comfortable office chair don’t have to be excessive splurges. Investing in good ergonomic equipment can be affordable—at least, it can during Cyber Monday.
Deals in these categories don’t always fly as fast and furious, but a solid handful are worth looking at. We’ve pulled together our list based on user reviews, technical specs, price trends over the year, and feedback from the PCWorld staff.
Cyber Monday 2024 deals on office chairs

It may come as a surprise, but Staples makes some very popular desk chairs—and they’re all down to their lowest prices for Cyber Monday. Its Hyken model is a fan favorite on Reddit, with the Dexley as an alternative if you need a wider variant.
Meanwhile, if you need more comfort, the FlexiSpot A5 offers adjustable support comparable to far more expensive chairs. And speaking of luxe, the Steelcase Leap is on rare discount right now. If you need its level of support and adjustability, you’ll save $300 during Cyber Monday. Not willing to go that high? Hon’s Ignition chair is on sale through Costco. (Non-members are eligible for the deal but must pay a 5 percent surcharge.)
Cyber Monday 2024 deals on standing desks
- Monoprice Dual-Motor 3-stage Desk Frame (FRAME ONLY), up to 220lbs – $195 (35% off on Monoprice.com)
- Flexispot EN2 standing desk, 55×28, White – $220 (23% off for Amazon Prime members)

- Flexispot 71-inch L-Shaped Standing Desk – $280 (44% off for Amazon Prime members)
- Vari Electric Standing Desk, 54×26 – $450 (25% off at Vari.com)
Flexispot is a popular brand on Amazon, and for good reason—their standing desks start at much lower prices than competitors. While a single-motor model, the EN2 offers a roomy tabletop and includes a power surge protector that clamps to the desk. No need to dangle cables from the floor to any accessories you’re charging.
Interested in having more say over the components of your standing desk? Monoprice’s reliable dual-motor frame can be had for under $200 right now. You’ll have to DIY your own tabletop (Reddit users like buying butcherblock and bamboo countertops to pair with their standing desk frames), but you’ll generally end up with a nicer, sturdier desk for less.
Standing desks and office chairs FAQ
What features should I look for in a standing desk?
A dual motor and programmable controls make for a smoother experience overall. With this motor type, the table won’t wobble as much when going up and down. The frames used for dual-motor desks usually are sturdier, too.
Meanwhile, having programmable controls lets you easily switch between different specific height positions. It’s a quality-of-life improvement that influences how much you like having a standing desk—manually overseeing the height adjustments can become tedious and even a little annoying over the long haul.
What makes for a good office chair?
This question is a little tricky to answer, but there are two main things to consider. First, you want enough back support to avoid hunching, while also feeling relaxed while sitting. You also want to avoid pressure on your lower back while in the chair. Office chairs designed for long sitting will have backs and seats shaped to address these issues, in contrast to the flatter surfaces of kitchen and casual desk chairs.
Arm rests, head supports, and mesh fabric can also contribute to comfort, depending on your size and how warm you run. When possible, try out these features on a chair a friend owns or on display in a store first, in order to see if you need them. The mesh is particularly good for those who sweat easily.
Wheeled legs are also good for easily getting in and out of the chair. You can often upgrade the casters, as Reddit recommends, for an even smoother experience. Be aware that for hard floors, you may need a rug to protect from scratches, and for deep-carpeted floor, you might need a mat for unhindered rolling.
How do I know if I’m getting a good deal on standing desks or office chairs during Cyber Monday?
For the deals chosen by PCWorld, both the quality of the product and the deal are considered. First and foremost, the desk or chair should be well-regarded. Prices should also be among the lowest we’ve seen, especially within context of a product’s historical cost.
If you’re weighing a deal on your own, be aware that many standing desks are rebranded models with slight variations, and so too for cheaper desk chairs. Read the product reviews, and when available, also look at the AI summaries of user reviews—skip anything with a known flaw or high return rates. Ideally, a desk or chair should have both independent reviews and high marks from users.
