Ergonomic Stores

Look in your phone book under Ergonomic Products & Services, Human Factors, and Office Furniture for local sources. These stores are usually independently owned and operated, sell at discount in volume, and carry adjustable keyboards and a variety of alternative input devices.

Contract Office Products and Furniture Suppliers

Corporate or small businesses usually have a contract to purchase accessories in volume at prices that can be 40% lower than the listed price. Boise Cascade or Corporate Express will add products that you like to the contract to make purchasing flow easy so the product ends up on your desk within days. Large companies also have relationships with contract furniture suppliers or directly with the manufacturer to get the best prices on chairs and keyboard trays. People in the Operations and Purchasing Departments or your office manager can help you get what you need.
