LOVE my new desk and chair!
Love the everyday desk and the Ergo Lounge chair. The table has the simplicity I was after and the chair is the perfect cross between an office chair and a lounge chair. I even easily assembled it all myself which I was super happy about. I’m so pleased I found Recess online and was able to buy a well made, well designed and sustainable product that feels like it’s built to last.

Desk for life sorted!
What a lovely organisation and top quality products. I bought a standing desk for my music station and it’s perfect. Functional and stylish, my favourite combination. I assembled it myself, which was relatively straightforward, though a few hiccups with the provided instruction. These however Were swiftly solved by the delightful Erica in customer.

Loving my new Standing Desk and Chair!
Absolutely love the look of my new Standing Desk and Ergo Chair. I paired up the walnut top with the white legs and it suits my space perfectly. The finishes are premium and the feel is fantastic.

Looks so mint!
My new Everyday Chair and Standing Desk setup is so bloody good. I work remotely on the Northern Beaches so getting a proper wfh setup was super critical. Products are top quality, delivery was way faster than I anticipated and the support team were so great to deal with after I had a question about one step on the assembly guide. New fanboy over here.

Amazing furniture... Even better customer service
We ordered two standing desks and two Ergo Pro 2.0 chairs as I was suffering with intense lower back pain (after using sub-standard chairs for years). These chairs look fantastic and are incredibly supportive. Very happy with our purchase and highly recommended. Plus, the customer service from ordering right through to delivery and assembly were the gold standard. Very pleased with Recess and will definitely use again.

Back Saver!
I purchased the Ergo Bundle along with the cable tray to keep my cords neat and secure. I am so impressed by the quality and sturdiness of it all. It is honestly one of the best investments I’ve made for my problem back while also looking great in my home office where I spend the majority of my day.

Worth the cost
My wife and I have had 2 x Ergo chairs for a couple of weeks now and we're stoked! High quality build/materials, easy to follow assembly instructions and very comfortable. Honestly much better than Officeworks offerings at the same price point.

Look no further!
I recently bought the Standing Desk and could not be happier with the service or product. Each component of the table is strong and well built and when combined they are unstoppable! I do a lot of audio and visual recording in my day so stability and absorption are very important to me and I am thrilled with the outcome.

Beautiful chair
The chair delivered was exactly same one that I expected. Its beautiful design and material was good quality. I was a bit worried about assembly but it was super easy due to manual. My first impression after complete assembly was extremely smooth in terms of rolling. The sitting experience was also excellent cause I felt my back was fully supported. I bought many chairs from local officework stores but definitely I can say this is different class and different level of quality.

Love the stand up desk
Love the desk. Looks great and easy to put together. So much better for my body to be able to stand up whilst working for a about half of the day. Thankyou

Just what I needed
My old 'office' chair has been causing me discomfort for a couple of years, but I've never found what seemed to be the right replacement. Tried instead various cushions and chair pads, until RECESS came up on my FB feed. The adjustments are perfect and it's really comfortable, and looks much less obtrusive in our lounge-study space. Could not be happier! 😍 This company ticks all the boxes - family-owned, Aussie-manufactured, recycled materials, great design and excellent service. A pleasure doing business with you.

Excellent Quality, Quick Delivery
Very happy with my decision! This chair is excellent quality, looks great and is very supportive. This is one of the better priced desk chairs I was considering and it has fulfilled all my requirements. Also relatively quick delivery to the Hunter region - within 2 days after purchase.
