📝 We're rewriting this guide.

Our previous version had some issues — broken images, outdated links, and content that didn't meet our standards. We're rebuilding it from scratch with current product data, real specs, and honest recommendations.

In the meantime, take the workspace assessment — it'll give you personalized product recommendations based on your body, budget, and work style. It's free and takes about 2 minutes.
