Sit-Stand Desks — Expert Answer
What is the correct monitor height when standing at a sit-stand desk?
Monitor height specification is a critical ergonomic calculation that OfficeFurniture2go.com addresses for every sit-stand installation. Standing eye height varies from approximately 55" (5'0" user) to 67" (6'2" user); our specification places monitor top at seated eye height minus 2–3" to account for the natural downward gaze angle preference. For standing position, the monitor top should be at standing eye height minus approximately 0–2". Because these two positions are different heights, a monitor arm with 8–12" of vertical travel independent of the desk surface is essential for true ergonomic optimization in both postures. We specify this in all multi-posture workstation designs. Call 1-800-460-0858.
