Your personalized ergonomic workstation setup

  • Your sitting desk should be between 25.5 and 28.2 in from the floor.
  • Set your monitor so the top of the screen is at or just below eye level to avoid neck strain.

Next stepAfter setting heights, check that your wrists are straight and your upper arms hang naturally - adjust the chair or use a footrest if your feet do not rest flat on the floor.
