The correct table height: how to choose a table for your height?

The correct height of your desk is one of the foundations of a comfortable workplace. A desk that is too high or too low can create discomfort while working at a computer.

How to determine the optimal table height according to your height and why an electric table can be a practical solution? Let's figure it out together with ESTIL.

1. What should be the correct height of a desk?

The optimal height depends not only on height, but also on body proportions and hand position.

When working standing, pay attention to the following signs:

• Shoulders remain relaxed.

• Elbows are bent at approximately a 90° angle.

• The forearms are comfortably positioned at the level of the work surface.

• The wrists are in a natural position.

The height of the desk should adjust to the person, not the other way around.

2. How to choose the height of the table according to your height?

For the initial desk setup when working standing up, you can use the following approximate values:

Human height	Approximate table height
150–160 cm	90–98 cm
160–170 cm	96–104 cm
170–180 cm	102–110 cm
180–190 cm	108–116 cm

These values are approximate. The final height should be selected individually, taking into account the length of the arms, shoes and working posture.

3. Why isn't the standard table height suitable for everyone?

Ordinary desks often have a fixed height of about 75 cm. However, for different people, the height of the desk can be different.

Fort height can vary significantly.

That's why a height-adjustable desk allows you to create a more personalized workspace.
