What is the optimal distance between a desk and a visitor chair?

For comfortable desk-to-visitor interaction, visitor chairs should be positioned 24–36 in. from the front edge of the desk (center to chair seat front). This allows comfortable conversation without the visitor being uncomfortably close and without requiring the desk occupant to strain forward.
