Hurry! Epic Steelcase sale knocks up to 25% off ahead of Memorial Day
The weekend is right around the corner and there are hundreds of Memorial Day sales to choose from right now. However, one of my favorite deals right now slashes the price on some of the best office chairs and standing desks we've tested.
Through May 29, Steelcase is taking up to 25% off its ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks. It's the biggest Steelcase sale I've seen all year with generous discounts sitewide. For example, the Sit-to-Stand Desk is on sale from $467. I've been using my Steelcase Sit-to-Stand Desk for eight months and I love its wide/sturdy workspace, quiet motor, and its sturdy design, which doesn't wobble when the desk is set to its highest level of 48.7 inches. It also looks great in just about any room.
Note: These are the starting prices and additional features/upholstery will increase the cost of your chair/desk.
The Series 2 is a highly adjustable task chair designed to fit the tightest budgets. It features back support, 4-dimensional arm support/ergonomics, recline adjustments, and more. Unlike the Series 1, the overall back width and height on the Series 2 is slightly larger.
I've been using the Steelcase Sit-to-Stand Desk for several months. It has a quiet motor, wide/sturdy workspace, and solid construction that doesn't wobble when the desk is set to its highest level of 48.7 inches. It's available in various finishes and in two different sizes.
The Steelcase Karman is unlike any chair we've tested. It's extremely light, remarkably comfortable, and offers excellent ergonomic support. In our Steelcase Karman review we said the Editor's Choice chair goes beyond what mesh office chairs offer thanks to Steelcase's proprietary Intermix textile which responds and adapts to your body's movements throughout the day.
The Steelcase Gesture features 360-degree arms, a contoured back, and multiple adjustments designed to shape your posture. The chair's 3D LiveBack design also mimics the spine's full range of motion providing additional support no matter how you move.
The Steelcase Leap is an excellent office chair with solid lower back support. In our Steelcase Leap review, we said the Editor's Choice chair is a great addition to any home office thanks to its excellent back support and wide range of colors.

Epic Sony headphone sale on Amazon from $38 — here's 9 deals I'd shop right now
Hoping to upgrade your headphone game for summer? Look no further than Sony, the brand that makes some of the best headphones we've ever tested. Even better? Amazon is currently hosting a huge sale on top-rated Sony audio devices. The sale includes deals on wireless earbuds and Editor's Choice headphones. For instance, you can snag the Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones for $100 off their usual price. Plus, the Sony WF-C500 are just $79 and ranked among our best wireless earbuds. Below, I've rounded up the best deals from the Sony sale on Amazon. For more ways to save, take a look this week's best Amazon promo codes. Our Sony WH-CH520 headphones review said these headphones "deliver on battery life and performance." They're 360 Reality Audio compatible for more 3D sound and you can customize EQ in the Sony Headphones app. Although there's no active noise cancelling function, they have built-in mics for hands-free voice and video calls and noise suppression processing to keep your voice sounding clear in noisy environments. They're also rated for up to 50 hours of battery life. The Sony WF-C700N are one of the best wireless earbuds we've tested. In our Sony WF-C700N review, we praised their excellent sound, strong noise cancellation and great call quality. They're also lightweight and last for 7.5 hours of listening time with ANC on. These rank top in our best wireless earbuds under $100, and this deal means they're too good to miss. There's no ANC, but our Sony WF-C500 review said that music sounds punchy, and there's full EQ control via the awesome Sony Connect Headphones app. Battery life runs to 10 hours, with 20 hours from the charging case. One of the greatest strengths of these low-cost headphones is the amount of playback time they offer between recharges. Battery life runs to 35 hours with noise canceling on, which is 5 hours longer than the flagship WH-1000XM5. They're among the best cheap headphones for travel. The Sony LinkBuds S have a lot to offer: active noise cancelation and ambient awareness (or transparency) modes that switch automatically based on your activity backed by Sony's awesome Headphones Connect app. Auto-play and auto-pause features are on board, plus you get top sound quality and reliability. The Sony Inzone H9 are styled similarly to their namesake's home console, so they're a perfect choice if you're also a PS5 gamer. In our Sony Inzone H9 review, we found the Editor's Choice headphones were comfortable to wear, but disliked the their finicky companion desktop PC app. Although superseded by the WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM6, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are still a solid buy. They offer effective ANC, superior comfort, excellent sound quality, and an epic battery life that runs up to 38 hours. In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we said they're one of the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market. These are some of the best buds that you can buy right now. They sound excellent, with some wickedly detailed sound with plenty of low-end grunt, and feature a very comfortable fit. We gave them 4.5 stars in our review because of their great ANC, which manages to block out almost any noise you could throw at them. This isn't quite their lowest price ever, but it's very close. The XM5s are Sony's premium noise-canceling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancelation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off.

Trans-Pacific Ocean Freight Rates Continue Their Ascent on More Front-Loading
Trans-Pacific ocean spot freight rates have kept their foot on the gas in the wake of a rush of imports from China into the U.S. as trade and tariff uncertainty pervades between the countries. On Friday, the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) calculated a surge of nearly 31 percent from the week prior out of the Chinese city across all markets, with West Coast-bound spot rates skyrocketing 58 percent to $6,243 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU). Rates soared 46 percent to $5,172 per container headed to the East Coast. More from Sourcing Journal How Should Brands Think About Cross-Border E-Commerce Amidst Uncertainty? As CMA CGM Flirts with Red Sea Comeback, Will Others Follow Suit? Can Tech Plug the Gaps Between Immigration Policies and Reshoring Aspirations? The weekly 30.6 level gain to 2,072.71 points represents the second-largest individual gain tracked by the index, following the final week of December 2023 as ocean carriers began avoiding the Red Sea en masse. Abercrombie & Fitch is one apparel retailer that has already baked in higher freight costs for their second quarter, chief financial officer Robert Ball said in a Wednesday earnings call. All the major indices that monitor ocean freight rates have indicated significant jumps to close out May, with the SCFI showing the highest increases. According to Drewry's World Container Index (WCI) posted Thursday, freight rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles leapt 17 percent to $3,738 per FEU in the past week and 38 percent since May 8. Spot rates to New York have risen 14 percent in the past week to $5,172 per container, and have accelerated 42 percent in the past three weeks. These numbers buoyed the overall WCI to 10 percent growth to $2,508 per container, marking the first double-digit rise in the composite index since last July. For Freightos, Asia-to-U.S. West Coast prices increased 13 percent to $2,788 per FEU, according to data revealed on Wednesday. The Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) bucked the trend of the other benchmarks, with Asia-to-U.S. East Coast prices seeing a bigger jump than their West Coast counterpart. Spot freight rates per container increased 20 percent to $4,223. 'Surging demand and these restrictions on capacity from out of place vessels and port congestion [at Chinese ports] are putting significant upward pressure on container rates,' said Judah Levine, head of research at Freightos, in Wednesday's weekly update. 'Rates are at their highest level since late February, and GRIs announced through mid-June could push prices up thousands of dollars more if demand stays elevated and congestion remains an issue.' Ongoing front-loading of imports will lead to big increases in spot rates on June 1, according to data from Xeneta. 'Average spot rates will rise at least 18 percent from the Far East to U.S. West Coast and 14 percent into the U.S. East Coast,' said Emily Stausbøll, senior shipping analyst at Xeneta. 'Data is being received from shippers paying far higher rates than this, so the market has the potential to increase even more dramatically in early June.' While a June spike could be in order, the combination of importers' front-loading and ocean carriers moving more shipping capacity to the trans-Pacific trade lane could be what slows rates down in the second half of 2025. Drewry's Container Forecaster expects the supply-demand balance to weaken again in the latter six months, which would cause spot rates to decline again for the back half. But the volatility and timing of rate changes will depend on the outcome of the ongoing legal challenges to President Donald Trump's tariffs and on possible capacity changes related to the introduction of the U.S. port docking fees on Chinese ships, which are uncertain. Xeneta's Stausbøll projects a longer-term decline in the third quarter as well, particularly when the expected period of front-loading ends. 'While tariffs are lower, they are still higher than they were previously, so there is every likelihood this will subdue consumer demand,' Stausbøll said in a May 21 blog post. 'Once shippers have built up inventories, they will not continue to front-load imports. Demand will therefore ease and carriers will once again be struggling to fill their ships. This means the traditional Q3 peak season will arrive earlier in 2025, but it should not take too long for spot rates to soften and continue the downward trend seen during Q1.' Currently, the base tariff rate on the majority of Chinese products is 30 percent after the U.S. and China entered into a 90-day tariff rollback. The agreement lowered the tariff rate from 145 percent for U.S. importers until Aug. 14.
