The ideal height for your standing desk will depend on your height and the type of work you'll be doing. As a general guideline, the desk should be set up so that your elbows are at a 90-degree angle when your hands are resting on the desk. Here are some tips to help you determine the ideal height for your standing desk:

 

1.Measure your height: Stand up straight and measure your height from the floor to the top of your head.

 

2.Determine your elbow height: Bend your arms at a 90-degree angle and measure the distance from the floor to your elbows.

 

3.Calculate the ideal desk height: Subtract the height of your shoes and the thickness of the desk surface from your elbow height. The result is the ideal height for your standing desk.

 

4.Test the height: Once you've calculated the ideal height, test it out to make sure it feels comfortable. Stand in front of the desk with your arms resting on the surface to see if the height is right for you.

 

Keep in mind that the ideal desk height can vary depending on your work setup and preferences. For example, if you use a monitor, the screen should be at eye level to reduce strain on your neck and shoulders. If you're unsure about the ideal height for your standing desk, consider consulting an ergonomic specialist for personalized advice.
