How does a desk hutch affect the overall desk height and ergonomics?

The hutch itself sits above the desk surface and does not change the seated work height. However, it occupies the back 10"–15" of the desk surface, which can reduce usable monitor depth. With monitor arms, this is easily mitigated. Hutch shelf heights should be checked against the user's reach height — upper shelves at 72" or more may be difficult to access for shorter users.
