How High Should A Desk Be?

Getting the height of your desk is just as important as getting the right office chairs. It doesn’t matter if it’s your study space, or if you work from home, if you plan on being at your desk for long periods of time it’s important to get this right.

The height of your desk should allow you to work comfortably and without strain. Ideally it should be at a height that allows your elbows to be at a 90-degree angle when typing and your feet to be flat on the floor or on a footrest. The standard desk height is around 29 to 30 inches (74 to 76 cm) from the floor to the tabletop. However, it’s important to note that people come in different heights and shapes, so a desk height that works for one person may not work for another. To measure desk height, measure the distance from the floor to the top of your thigh while sitting on a chair. This measurement should be used as a starting point when selecting the height of your desk.

Alternatively, to a traditional desk, adjustable desks are becoming more and more popular not just in the office but in people’s homes as well. The benefit of an adjustable desk is the flexibility to change the height of your workspace, providing ergonomic benefits and promoting better posture. It can also improve blood flow, reduce discomfort, and fatigue, and increase productivity by allowing you to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. Additionally, it can be beneficial for people with physical disabilities or injuries who require customized workspaces. Alternatively, adjustable chairs and/or footrests can also be a great addition to help you perfecting the correct setup that meets your individual needs.
