Installation
Because the ErgoTune Supreme has been in the market for more than a year, the assembler has gotten very experienced in setting up the chair. My ErgoTune Supreme V2 (2020) took two guys 20 minutes to assemble the chair as I am the fourth one in Singapore to have it.
I have been using the ErgoEdge AmpDesk Standing Desk since June 2018, before all the COVID-19 and Work From Home (WFH) events. COVID-19 came in January 2020 and accelerated WFH. So when people WFH, they need a proper environment to work from home. And if they do have that, they will need a good work desk.
So that started a sudden surge in people buying standing desks. And I believe the demand for standing desks is still happening today because just when you thought it was over, Omicron came and said hello.
The store selling it is called AudioSG and the official retail price of it is S$280. After all the discounts on 7/7, I paid only S$232.18 for the headrest.
Martiangear is a new gaming lifestyle brand in Singapore. They are a new kid on the block when it comes to gaming chairs. This is after Secretlab, APOL, Royale Ergonomics, and many others.
Besides gaming chairs, they will have a few upcoming gaming products in their pipeline, like gaming tables and gaming peripherals.

Purchasing Decisions
Before getting an Omnidesk, I was using a S$60 table purchased from Taobao, which surprisingly valued for money since I used it without any issues for three years. One of the major factors that spurred me into looking at a height-adjustable table was to have a better posture as I have to be in front of my monitors for an extended period. This is especially critical in this COVID-19 pandemic since I have to work from home (WFH) for the rest of this year.
Omnidesk was my top pick, as I have heard excellent reviews from my peers that are currently using it. Initially, I was guessing that Omnidesk actually OEM their table and insert their brand name on it, but after clarification with Omnidesk, it turns out that they do not OEM their tables. Omnidesk designs the specifications of their desks while working with a reputable manufacturer to ensure that these desks are built according to the required specifications right down to the wire. This was a major plus point to me as I am not just paying for the brand name of Omnidesk but also the design, quality, and R&D of the desks.
