Desktops for Computer Workstations
If you are like many computer users, your computer, keyboard, and mouse are resting on your desk or a portable computer workstation. There is no specific height recommended for your desktop; however, the working height of your desk should be approximately elbow height for light duty desk work.
To allow for proper alignment of your arms your keyboard should be approximately 1 inch to 2 inches above your thighs (see Keyboard & Mouse). Most times this requires a desk which is 25 inches to 29 inches in height (depending upon size of individual) or the use of an articulating keyboard tray.
The area underneath the desk should always be clean to accommodate the user's legs and allow for stretching.
The desktop should be organized so frequently used objects are close to the user to avoid excessive extended reaching. If a document holder is used, it should be placed at approximately the same height as the monitor and at the same distance from the eyes to prevent frequent eye shifts between the screen and reference materials.
