Hot take: spending $600 on a standing desk converter was a complete waste of money

I used it for 3 weeks before I realized I just prop my laptop on a stack of books anyway, and my neck actually hurts less now - has anyone else found fancy gear just makes things worse?

Felt the same way with my expensive ergonomic chair.

I spent 400 bucks on one of those mesh back chairs last year because everyone said it would fix my back pain. The thing started creaking after three months and the armrests peeled like an old car interior. I ended up just putting a cheap cushion from Walmart on a regular dining chair and honestly that works way better. The only real difference I notice is that my wallet is a lot lighter now. Sometimes I think these companies just slap a high price tag on stuff and call it ergonomic.
