What is the ideal pedestal height to use as a seated work surface extension?

When a mobile pedestal is used as a secondary work surface extension (for example, parking a laptop or reference materials on top while seated), the ideal height is 27"–29" — matching or slightly below the primary desk height. Standard mobile pedestals at 24"–27" are close to this range. If the pedestal top is significantly lower than the desk surface (e.g., a 22" pedestal with a 30" desk), the height mismatch creates awkward arm posture when working across both surfaces. When surface-height matching is a priority, confirm the pedestal height before purchase. OfficeFurniture2go.com specifies exact heights for all pedestal models — call 1-800-460-0858.
