Frequently Asked Questions
How is standing desk height calculated?
A common ergonomic guideline is roughly 65% of your total height for elbow-level standing desk height, though individual proportions vary.
What about monitor height?
The top of your monitor screen should sit near or slightly below eye level, roughly at standing desk height plus a portion of your height for the screen's position.
Should I get an adjustable desk?
A sit-stand adjustable desk lets you switch between the calculated sitting and standing heights throughout the day for better ergonomics.
