Morning.
New year. Same home office setup from 2020.
The "temporary" desk that became permanent. The chair you bought because it had good reviews and a mesh back. The monitor you told yourself was "fine for now." That was five years ago.
Here's the math that matters: the average office worker spends 1,700+ hours a year at their desk. That's a lot of time in a chair designed for occasional use.
January is when serious home office deals land. Retailers clearing inventory, manufacturers pushing new-year promos, holiday leftovers suddenly negotiable. Their Q4 hangover is your opportunity.
These products passed the test - real discounts on equipment built to last.
Let's fix your office.

Steelcase Leap V2 Office Chair
$616 with code HIGHFIVE | $1400 NEW
🪑 The $1,400 Chair Execs Sit In. For $616.
If you've ever sat in a conference room chair that somehow didn't destroy your back during a three-hour meeting, there's a good chance it was a Steelcase. The Leap V2 is the chair office furniture professionals choose for themselves—not because of marketing, but because they've sat in everything and this is what they buy.
Yes, this is a used chair. But here's why that's actually the move:
Crandall Office Furniture has been remanufacturing premium chairs since 2002. They're not flipping office liquidation finds on eBay—they're doing complete rebuilds. Every chair gets torn down to the frame, then rebuilt with new foam (actually 3/4" thicker than factory), new commercial-grade upholstery in your choice of 30+ fabrics, new gas cylinder, new arm pads, and new casters. The only thing "used" is the frame itself - and Steelcase frames are built like tank chassis.
Why It Wins:
✅ 12-year warranty that matches buying new from Steelcase — Crandall stands behind their rebuild process completely. If something fails, they fix it. They've got 4.9 stars across 2,300+ Google reviews because they actually honor this.
✅ The parts that wear out are all brand new — Gas cylinders, foam, upholstery, arm pads, casters. The stuff that degrades over time? Replaced. What remains is the steel frame and the LiveBack mechanism—the parts that don't wear out.
✅ Repairable for decades — The Leap V2 has been in production since 2006. Parts are everywhere, repair videos are all over YouTube, and Steelcase still supports it. This isn't a chair you replace in five years—it's a chair you hand down when your kid starts working from home.
Buying remanufactured from Crandall isn't settling. It's getting a $1,400 chair for $616 with the same warranty and better foam.
The catch: Frames show minor cosmetic wear (scuffs on plastic), and most chairs in inventory are from 2007-2016. Ships partially disassembled but takes five minutes to put together. Free returns within 30 days.
FlexiSpot E7 Standing Desk
🖥️ 15-Year Warranty. Your Mortgage Might Not Last That Long.
Most standing desk "sales" are permanent pricing with a line through some made-up number. The E7 at $504.99 is genuinely discounted—verified against Amazon, Wirecutter, and six months of price history.
Dual motors mean stability at standing height that single-motor desks can't match. Automotive-grade carbon steel frame tested for 20,000+ motion cycles. 355-lb capacity handles monitors, a PC tower, and everything that accumulates on a desk.
FlexiSpot backs this with a 15-year warranty on frame, motors, and electrical. Four programmable height presets, cable management, anti-collision sensors, USB charging in the controller.
The catch: Make sure your config includes the desktop—some listings are frame-only. Standard depth is 24"; consider 30" if you've got a deep monitor setup.

LG 34GS95QE UltraGear OLED UltraWide Monitor
🖥️ This is the ultrawide that makes other ultrawides look like compromises.
34-inch curved OLED with an aggressive 800R curve that wraps around your peripheral vision. At 3440x1440, you run three documents side-by-side without squinting. Infinite contrast means text is sharper—each pixel lights itself, no backlight bleed.
For gamers: 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, NVIDIA G-Sync compatible.
LG backs this with a 2-year warranty that explicitly covers OLED burn-in - something most manufacturers exclude. That's rare and it matters.
The catch: The 800R curve is aggressive; some prefer flatter panels for design work. No USB-C video input (HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 only).
Logitech MX Master 3S
💡 The No-Brainer
Not a huge discount, but the MX Master 3S basically never goes on sale—and once you use one, every other mouse feels like a toy.
Ergonomic sculpted shape eliminates hand fatigue. 8,000 DPI sensor tracks on glass - no mousepad needed. MagSpeed scroll wheel does 1,000 lines per second. Connect to three devices and switch with a button. 70-day battery life.
The catch: Right-handed only. Heavier than gaming mice…intentionally.
