Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains how Ergonomic Office makes money, in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines for affiliate websites.
What is an affiliate link?
Most outbound product links on Ergonomic Office are affiliate links. When you click one and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission — typically 1% to 8% of the sale, depending on the program and product category. The price you pay does not change. The commission is paid by the retailer out of their margin, not added to your total.
Which programs we participate in
- Amazon Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
We may add additional programs (such as Skimlinks, Sovrn Commerce, Awin, Impact, or direct merchant partnerships with manufacturers like Herman Miller, Steelcase, or Uplift Desk) as we expand coverage. This page will be updated when we do.
How affiliate links affect what we recommend
They don't. We pick products through the methodology described on our About page — manufacturer specs, owner forums, occupational-therapist guidance, and verified-purchase reviews. Then we attach affiliate links to the products that win on the merits, not the other way around.
In practice, this means we routinely recommend products whose affiliate programs pay us less than the alternatives we passed over. We've also recommended buying used (the office-furniture secondary market is exceptional for Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Humanscale gear) in cases where that was the right answer — those purchases earn us nothing.
How to identify affiliate links
Every product link on this site that opens in a new tab and
goes to a retailer (Amazon, manufacturer direct, or partner
store) should be assumed to be an affiliate link. We add the
rel="sponsored noopener nofollow" attribute to
every affiliate link to comply with FTC and search-engine
guidelines.
Every post on this site also displays a short disclosure banner near the top — your in-content reminder that the page contains affiliate links.
Cookies and tracking
Clicking an affiliate link may set a tracking cookie on your device that allows the retailer to attribute a future purchase to this site (typically for 24 hours in the case of Amazon). We do not store or have access to that cookie ourselves — it's set directly by the retailer.
