Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains how ChairNerd makes money, in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines for affiliate websites.

What is an affiliate link?

Most outbound product links on ChairNerd are affiliate links. When you click one and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission — typically 1% to 8% of the sale, depending on the program and product category. The price you pay does not change. The commission is paid by the retailer out of their margin, not added to your total.

Which programs we participate in

ChairNerd is a participant in the following affiliate programs:

• Amazon Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

We may also participate in other affiliate networks and direct merchant partnerships as approved (for example, Awin, Impact, Skimlinks, Sovrn Commerce, or a retailer's own program). This page will be updated as our coverage expands.

How affiliate links affect what we recommend

They don't. We pick products through the methodology described on our About page — manufacturer specs, owner communities, verified-purchase reviews, and expert interviews. Then we attach affiliate links to the products that win on the merits, not the other way around.

In practice, this means we routinely recommend products whose affiliate programs pay us less than the alternatives we passed over. We've also recommended buying used or off-platform in cases where that was the right answer — those clicks earn us nothing.

How to identify affiliate links

Every product link on this site that opens in a new tab and goes to a retailer (Amazon, manufacturer direct, or partner store) should be assumed to be an affiliate link. We add the rel="sponsored noopener nofollow" attribute to every affiliate link to comply with FTC and search-engine guidelines.

In addition, every post on this site displays a short disclosure banner near the top — that banner is your in-content reminder that the page contains affiliate links.

Cookies and tracking

Clicking an affiliate link may set a tracking cookie on your device that allows the retailer to attribute a future purchase to this site (typically for 24 hours in the case of Amazon). We do not store or have access to that cookie ourselves — it's set directly by the retailer.
