We Review the EverDesk Max Standing Desk and ErgoTune Supreme Ergonomic Chair for WFH
- Dec 19, 2022
If you are still getting to work from your home (#WFH) in 2023, then it’s probably time you get yourself a proper home office. New Year, new beginnings and all that right? Obviously, everybody defines “proper” differently because we all have different home sizes and different working habits. But one thing’s for sure—a proper home office means one that will keep you focused and productive. With the remote working situation more or less stable, I believed it was time to do up the spare room in our flat into a proper home office. And as luck would have it, I was offered the chance to review the EverDesk Max adjustable standing desk and the accompanying ergonomic chair, the ErgoTune Supreme V3. Watch our short video review here if you don't like reading long chunks of text:
I wasn't actually looking at a standing desk or an ergonomic chair for my home office, to begin with. I mean, I've heard of their benefits, but I wasn't entirely convinced they were truly beneficial. So how did both of them fare in my workstation? Read to find out:EverDesk Max.

Adding on the extras
When shopping for the EverDesk Max online, you are given a bunch of options to select accessories for it. I selected the following:- Castors for the legs: I wanted a change of scenery every once in a while and we also wanted to use this as an extra table for when we have larger guests over for dinner.
- Pegboard organiser panel with accessories: Great for organising the various stationery and knick-knacks and freeing up space on the table.
- Cable tray: For organising cables. It did manage to hide part of my cables, but they still look messy.
- Laptop stand: I use a laptop for work.
The pegboard and accessories bundle. Chapalang stationery not included. Pegboard felt a bit flimsy, IMHO.
Castors. Can be locked in place.

Setting things up
Delivery is free! Assembly costs an extra S$60 for the desk and S$20 for the chair, although EverDesk says it’s pretty easy to self-assemble with their step-by-step video instructions. There were also pictorial instructions that came in the boxes.Instructions for setting up the ErgoTune Supreme.

Typing away on the EverDesk Max
The desk has a slight indent on one side. The black finish felt well-made with smooth joints at the edges of the table so it feels safe even in an environment with young children. It does scratch rather easily though, so you'll want to be careful of that.Sleek surface.
Yes, coach.
You can change your vibration pattern.
Adjusting posture on the ErgoTune Supreme V3
The chair looks just like any other ergonomic chair. It’s nothing to shout about aesthetically, but it does have a fairly wide and roomy seat (for the medium anyway) and a decent headrest and lumbar support.Decent support there.
What can be adjusted on the ErgoTune Supreme V3.
Fabric not the most cushiony or softest.
Love that the armrest can be completely turned inwards.
Conclusion
So do you really need to splurge on a standing desk and an ergonomic chair for your work-from-home setup? The answer isn't a definite yes if I'm being honest—but only if you already have solidified the habit of standing up regularly from your desk and maintaining good posture while sitting. Essentially, a standing desk gives you the convenience to continue working while standing. And the EverDesk Max does that but with a bit of extra reminding through their Health Coach Controller. So it makes it easy for you to follow through with standing up regularly. An ergonomic chair definitely aids in the proper sitting posture if you have the tendency to slouch (a lot of us do when we get too focused on work). But make sure you opt for one that has high adjustability and customisability as with the ErgoTune Supreme V3, since everybody's body shape and size are different.Pricing - how much moolah do you need?
