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 Black Friday and Cyber Monday. November deals in these categories don’t fly as fast and furious, but a solid handful are worth looking at.

Black Friday 2025 deals on office chairs

- Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair – $1,159 (25% off at Herman Miller)
- Herman Miller Aeron Chair – $1,448 (25% off at Herman Miller)
Both the PCWorld staff and Reddit love Staples’ Hyken desk chair. It’s absurdly affordable but offers features found on more expensive chairs, like adjustable back support. The Staples Dexley is basically the same chair, but more comfortable for those seeking a wider frame.
Meanwhile, if you need more comfort and want a “buy it for life” chair, both Herman Miller and Steelcase have already cut prices on its chairs by 25 percent for Black Friday. They’re spendy, but I can personally vouch for the Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Amia. They really do feel nice to sit in for full work days. I’d name the Steelcase Amia as my upgrade pick if you want something sturdier than the Staples Hyken or Dexley — a fantastic “best budget BIFL” deal.

Flexispot is a popular brand on Amazon, and for good reason—their standing desks start at much lower prices than competitors. I’d recommend the E6 model deal, which at under $250 would be my pick for the best standing desk deal. As a dual-motor model, you’ll get a better quality of experience (stability, smoothness), and it’s priced similarly to single-motor models from more expensive competitors. And if you need the desk to bear a ton of weight, you can upgrade to the $299 E6 MAX standing desk deal, which supports up to 330 pounds and is even on wheels for easier mobility.
Note: Amazon has many of its Black Friday deals available only to Amazon Prime members. But don’t worry if you’re not one currently! You can sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial to shop, then cancel before you’re charged for the subscription.

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 Black Friday/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.
