How We Research
What This Page Is
This page explains exactly how RemoteErgoLab researches and recommends ergonomic products. We believe you deserve to know how we work, what sources we use, and what we don’t do.
What We Do
Our research process follows these steps:
- Identify the problem: We start with issues remote workers actually report—neck pain from fixed monitors, wrist strain from poor keyboard angles, limited desk space in apartments.
- Gather published specifications: We collect technical data directly from manufacturer websites and product documentation: height ranges, weight capacities, dimensions, materials, adjustment mechanisms.
- Analyze owner reviews: We read hundreds of verified purchase reviews on Amazon, retailer sites, and forums to identify patterns—what breaks after six months, which adjustments are too stiff, how products perform in small spaces.
- Score against explicit criteria: We evaluate products using documented criteria relevant to the problem: for monitor arms, that means height and reach range, VESA compatibility, weight rating, desk clamp footprint, cable management, and price band.
- Shortlist and fact-check: We verify every specification and measurement against original sources before recommending anything.
What We Do NOT Do
RemoteErgoLab does not operate a testing lab. We do not physically test products in-house. Our recommendations are based on published specifications and aggregated user experience, not hands-on evaluation.
We do not accept payment for placement or rankings. Product links may generate affiliate commissions, but compensation does not influence our research criteria or conclusions.
We do not provide medical advice. If you have persistent pain or injury, consult a healthcare professional or occupational therapist.
How We Handle Prices and Availability
Prices change frequently. We note the price range at the time of writing and update periodically, but always check the current price at the retailer before purchasing. If a product becomes unavailable, we note discontinued status and suggest current alternatives when we become aware of the change.
Sources and Attribution
We cite manufacturer spec sheets, published ergonomics research, and verified retailer reviews. When we reference a specific claim, guideline, or measurement, we link to the original source.
Corrections and Updates
If you find an error—an incorrect specification, a broken link, or outdated information—please contact us. We correct factual errors promptly and note the correction at the top of the article. We review and update our guides every 6–12 months or when significant product changes occur.
AI-Assisted Drafting
We use AI tools to draft and edit content. Every article is reviewed by a human editor, fact-checked against cited sources, and verified for accuracy before publication. We state this method openly because transparency matters.
