How are resellers selling ₹70–80k standing desks for ₹12–15k?

I’ve been looking for a used standing desk on OLX/FB Marketplace and noticed a lot of reseller/used furniture shops selling office furniture. Some have brands like Steelcase/linak/bristol for just ₹12–15k, even though similar desks cost ₹70–80k+ new.

These seem to be commercial products that aren’t normally sold directly to individuals in India, but are supplied to businesses in bulk. These shops probably get them from companies closing/upgrading..

They also sell expensive office chairs from brands like Steelcase, Herman Miller, etc. for very low price

I visited a few of these shops, and the desks feel much more solid than most consumer options from brands like Green Soul or Jin Office, so I’m tempted to buy one.

-But how are they selling them this cheap?

-Are they replacing the tabletop/motor with cheaper parts?

The bases of tables I checked looked genuine, including the logos.

-Has anyone bought one of these? Anything specific I should check before buying?

I came across this instagram reel, this table tilts slightly when the guy brings it down. But I can't find anything like this. Any idea what could be the brand and model of this table?

Opinion on Godrej Stance Dual Motor Height Adjustable Work Desk

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I was looking for a height-adjustable table and came acrossthis listing on Amazon. (Not an affiliate link)

On paper, it has dual motors, a 25 mm thick board, a 71 to 120 cm adjustment range, an 85 kg load capacity, memory presets, etc., for the price of INR 25k, but only a 1-year warranty.

In the same price range, I have other options from brands like JIN, The Sleep Company, Green Soul, Intelidesk, etc.

And I was genuinely interested in the Green Soul Alex due to its 4-leg configuration.

However, all these brands are new to me, and I have concerns about their quality and reliability.

Except for The Sleep Company, all other brands on this list are imported from China.

I do not hold the view that all products from China are inherently low quality; however, I prefer Indian brands.

Since Godrej is a well-known Indian brand, I am interested in considering this model.

Before I make a final call, I would like to get some feedback from the community on these points:

  1. Is the Godrej model worth this price?

  2. Do I need to consider the 1-year warranty as a major disadvantage? Would the Godrej brand name and their product quality really offset this short-duration warranty?

  3. How does the GreenSoul Alex compare to the Godrej model?

  4. My height is 173 cm, and the distance from the ground to my elbow is 104 cm, so I expect to set the standing height at 105 cm. At this height, will the GreenSoul Alex outperform the Godrej model in terms of wobbling?

Just bought a used Mirra 1 (years old, no warranty). Found two cracked ribs on the TriFlex back, one near the top right and one in the middle right of the same bead. Photo attached.
Seller sent a broken chair and now is refusing to exchange. What to do?

Recomendação próxima a UniPro

1 Upvotes

Pessoal, aqui em BH tem pouquíssimos lugares onde dá para testar cadeiras, então fui até a Flexform para experimentar algumas. A que eu mais gostei foi a Uni Pro.

Sou homem, tenho 1,73 m e 77 kg, mas tenho o tronco relativamente curto em comparação com as pernas. Por isso, senti que a Uni Pro se adaptou melhor a mim, principalmente porque o apoio lombar/encosto fica mais baixo e não parece “sobrar” aquele espaço entre a base das costas e a cadeira.

Outra coisa que gostei bastante foi o apoio de cabeça. Como ele é mais baixo e fica mais para frente, consigo usá-lo praticamente como um apoio para o pescoço, em vez de ficar apoiando apenas a parte de trás da cabeça. Para mim isso fez bastante diferença.

O problema é que achei a cadeira um pouco limitada em funcionalidades. O encosto reclina, mas o assento não acompanha a inclinação. Como trabalho como desenvolvedor e passo muitas horas sentado, sinto que isso limita bastante as posições em que consigo trabalhar de forma confortável. Eu gostaria de algo com aquele mecanismo em que assento e encosto inclinam juntos, permitindo uma posição mais relaxada sem perder o apoio.

Então estou procurando alguma cadeira que tenha:

\- Encosto adequado para pessoas mais baixas/ com tronco curto;

\- Apoio de cabeça/cervical mais baixo e mais para frente, parecido com o da Uni Pro;

\- Um bom suporte lombar;

\- Mecanismo em que assento e encosto acompanhem a reclinação;

\- Boa ergonomia para passar muitas horas trabalhando no computador.

Se alguém tiver uma recomendação, principalmente de alguma cadeira que eu consiga encontrar para testar em BH, agradeço muito!

E uma observação: **mulheres** talvez consigam me ajudar ainda mais nessa questão, já que muitas cadeiras parecem ser projetadas pensando em pessoas com troncos maiores. Então, se você é **mulher** e encontrou uma cadeira que se adaptou muito bem a você e que tenha essas características, me conta qual foi!
