Full Range Ergonomic Online Stores

Ergonomic Online Stores Part 4

So far we have reviewed ergonomic online stores that focus on accessories, such as keyboard trays or tracking devices, and stores that focus on ergonomic furniture, such as chairs or workstations. Let's now look at full range ergonomic online stores, which cover both ends of the spectrum. As usual, we start with the smaller stores.




Ergo Devices  is a very small small store with an elegant site design, ranging, in a small number of categories, through both industrial/ medical and office ergonomics, but with very few products in each category. Few of the products can actually be purchased through the site, and many require a call for pricing. Few brands are recognizable. There is little product information on the product pages. There are no product reviews or chat. There are no chair or keyboard tray builders. There is some generic ergonomic information, and no product-specific ergonomic information on the product pages. There are no store reviews or testimonials, and no resellereratings reviews.

Ergo Mart is a small store with an old fashioned e-commerce site design, covering a good number of categories with products which are primarily unbranded or with largely unknown brands. They advertise themselves as a GSA contractor - their site might be focused on that market. There is some product information in the product pages, but less than we would like. There are no product reviews or chat. There are no chair or keyboard tray builders. There is no generic ergonomic information, but there is some limited product specific ergonomic information in category pages.  There are no store reviews or testimonials, and no resellerratings reviews.

Ergo Guys  is a small Yahoo store with an old fashioned site design, a large number of categories, and few choices in each category. They carry  a number of unusual brands and items, but few of the high end ones, and provide mostly budget and value choices. They have a lot of children's items, an unusual feature, that we wish we would see more often. There is limited product information on the product pages, with no product reviews or chat offered. There are no builders or shopping guides. There is no generic or product-specific ergonomic information available. Testimonials are anonymous only, and there are no resellerratings reviews.

The Ergonomic Store is a small store with a fairly well designed site specifically designed for ergonomic purposes. Some links are occasionally broken. The store covers a fairly good number of product categories, with a small number of items in each. Items are unbranded, which  makes it often difficult to evaluate their quality, if can cannot recognize them by sight.  The site provides chat, and product reviews - but there are very few of them so far. Product information on the product pages is limited. There is no generic or product-specific ergonomic information. There are no chair or keyboard tray builders, but there are shopping guides based on the type of ergonomic problem faced by the customer.  There are no store reviews, only anonymous testimonials, and no resellerratings reviews. The company has a blog - which ranges far and wide in topics- , and can be found on Facebook and on Linked In.

Ergonomics Made Easy is a small store with a good looking site, which is easy to navigate. It has a small set of categories and a limited range of items in each. The company carries few lines and brands, with one exception - it has a large selection of interesting keyboards and pointing devices. There is some product information on the product pages, although not as much as we would like. There are no product reviews or chat. There is a good amount of generic ergonomic information on the site, in multiple locations, but little or no product-specific ergonomic information on the product pages.  There are no chair or keyboard tray builders. There are no store reviews or testimonials, and no resellerratings reviews. The company has an active and informative blog.

There are no product reviews or chat. There are no product builders. There is no generic or product-specific ergonomic information. Testimonials are anonymous, and there are no resellerratings reviews.

Ergonomics Simplified  provides a simplified site workflow with an elegant design, and multiple shopping guides, self evaluation and diagnosis tools. The goal of the site is clearly to make the choice of the tool as easy as possible for the customer, and they do a good job at it. Their inventory is limited, but suits the purpose of the site well. They do not carry many well known brands, making it difficult to evaluate the quality of the products - you have to go on trust. There is some product information on the product page, although we would have liked more. There are no product reviews, or chat.  There is extensive generic ergonomic information across the site, and some, limited, product specific ergonomic information on the product pages. The site also works with a network of local ergonomic professionals. There are no store reviews or testimonials, and no resellerratings reviews.  While it does not carry many products, Ergonomics Simplifed is an interesting site and a true ergonomic store.
