Our standard

Clean Tech Workspace does not manufacture anything. We choose things, and we tell you what we checked before choosing them. This page is the list.

What has to be true before a product appears here

Seven checks. A product that fails any one of them stays off the shelf, however good it looks in a photograph.

1. It belongs on a desk

Not "it could sit on a desk" — it has to improve one of five things: cable order, lighting, comfort, control, or how the setup is arranged. If we cannot say which, it is not for us. We have turned down head torches, car mounts and console accessories for exactly this reason.

2. Compatibility is stated, not implied

Which ports. Which sizes. Which desk thickness. Which machines. If the supplier cannot tell us, we do not guess on the product page — we leave the question open and say so.

3. The specification is internally consistent

Suppliers copy claims between listings and they do not always survive contact with the spec sheet. We have held back a product whose title said 4K while its own specification listed a bandwidth that cannot carry 4K. We would rather publish a shorter page than repeat a number we cannot defend.

4. One product page describes one product

Some suppliers bundle a four-port, a five-port and a seven-port device into a single listing with one set of photos. A page here describes the exact item you receive, with its own ports, its own price and its own pictures.

5. The images are ours to use and show the thing you are buying

We do not publish photographs carrying another retailer's watermark, and we do not remove watermarks to reuse someone else's work. We do not publish an image of the orange version of a product we sell in black. Where we do not yet have clean, correct photography, the product waits.

6. The price makes sense next to the market

We are not trying to be the cheapest. We are trying not to be absurd. We check what the same item costs elsewhere before we price it, and we have dropped products where our own cost was higher than the price the item already sells for publicly.

7. The delivery time includes every step

Every product page states a delivery window in business days that counts both parts of the journey: the supplier's processing time and the carrier's transit time. A transit time on its own is not a delivery time. The transit part comes from the carrier's measured average; the processing part is the supplier's stated range.
