Office chairs can be surprisingly expensive, easily breaking $1,000 for a seaworthy seat. The Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro, with a list price of just $500, beat out a number of expensive seats from some very recognizable chair makers to earn the top spot on our office chair roundup. For labor day, Branch is offering 10% off when you use code LABORDAY on the base price of the chair, as well as any accessories you might want to add on, plus free shipping, so you can build the ultimate home office.

Ergonomic Chair Pro
Unlike some other less expensive chairs, the Ergonomic Chair Pro features an absolute raft of adjustment options. Take the armrests, for example, which have vertical, forward and back, and angular adjustments, or the seat depth, which has both depth and tilt options, and of course there’s an adjustable lumbar support.
Branch doesn’t cut corners on materials, with a powder-coated aluminum base and casters that roll smoothly on hardwood floors. There are fabric, real leather, and vegan leather options in a variety of neutral or natural colors, another option typically reserved for chairs more than twice the price.
There are a variety of discounted accessories that might put some wind in your sails. Our editor thought the headrest was a bit unnecessary, but as a 6’4″ person, appreciated the tall cylinder to sit a little higher on the waves. Whichever route you choose to navigate, you’ll save a bit of cash, which is always great when you’re picking up an expensive new piece of furniture.
Ready to keelhaul your current bridge? Branch is offering an extra five percent, for a total 15% discount, if you also pick up a desk to go with your new chair. The Branch Four Leg Standing Desk is our editors’ favorite standing desk, with an elegant, understated design and a variety of options for its rounded plywood tops. Accessories for the desk are marked down as well, although I didn’t see anything particularly exciting or unique there.
The discounts on Branch’s chairs, desks, and accessories, as well as the additional bundle discount, are already live and run until September 5th. The website says to use the promo code LABORDAY, but I saw the discounts automatically displayed on items as I browsed the site. Just make sure you see the free shipping and discounted price when you check out.
