Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Desk & Daylight earns a commission when you buy something through our links. It costs you nothing extra. It does not change what we rank or what we say about it. And we have not tested any of these products.

That is the whole thing. The rest is detail.

Amazon Associates

Desk & Daylight is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC 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.

Every product link on this site goes to Amazon and carries our Associates tag (deskanddaylight-20). If you click it and buy something — that product or anything else in that session — Amazon pays us a small percentage. Amazon’s price is the same for you either way.

At the moment Amazon is the onlyretailer we earn from. We are not part of any other affiliate network in this category. If that changes — and there are brands here worth linking directly — this page gets updated before any such link goes live.

What the commission does not buy

• It does not buy a ranking. No brand pays to appear here, and no brand has been given a preview, a veto, or a phone call.
• It does not decide the order.We rank on published specs — fit first, then longevity, then how well the maker documented what they sold you. Commission rate is not one of the inputs, and the methodology page spells out what is.
• It does not stop us telling you not to buy.Every product on this site carries a “don’t buy it if” line, because that is the most useful sentence on most product pages.
• It does not get anything included. We left the biggest brand in the standing-desk category off our roundup entirely, because they block access to their own specifications and we would have had to guess. That decision cost us money. It was still the right one.

We have not tested these products

This belongs in the disclosure as much as the commission does, because it is the other thing you would want to know before trusting a recommendation.

We have no lab, no samples, and no hands-on time with anything on this site. Our rankings come from manufacturers’ published specifications and public standards, all cited, all dated. Where a manufacturer doesn’t publish a number, we print a dash instead of estimating it. The full method — and an honest list of what it can’t tell you — is on the methodology page.

Prices

Prices come from Amazon’s API, are stamped with the date we fetched them, and change constantly. If our price data is more than 48 hours old, the number disappears from the pagerather than going stale — the button falls back to “Check price on Amazon”. We never hand-write a price into an article, and we never publish a rating or a review count that the API did not give us.

The price you pay is whatever Amazon says at the moment you check out. Always confirm it there.

How the links work

Product links on this site point at a /go/ address on our own domain, which forwards you to the retailer. That is so we can change where a product points without rewriting articles, and so the tagging is handled in one place instead of being scattered through the content. Every one of those links is marked rel="sponsored nofollow", which is how we tell search engines it is a paid link.

Links to manufacturers’ spec sheets, standards bodies and government guidance are ordinary links and earn us nothing. They are our evidence.
