I am 5'6 and I have found I like a desk about 24-26" off the ground so I can sit with my feet flat on the floor and hands in my lap at the keyboard without shoulders hunched. Hard to find!
I have my old Aeron which I don't really love vertical adjustment nearly as low as it can go.
- denimnerd42 8y agosounds like you need a 3M keyboard tray.. I do like my standing desk more though even though its 3x the cost of a good keyboard tray. It's has more flexibility as it can go down to 24" and up to 50" More importantly it's useful for more than just typing.. writing, soldering, etc.
- snowwindwaves 8y agoAny links for the standing desk? 3m keyboard tray looks perfect. I had a great keyboard tray at Nortel in the nineties and all my workstations have been sub par since then.

- cimmanom 8y agoI have the exact same issue. A sit-stand desk with a wide height range has saved my back. The biggest challenge left is finding a chair that’s shallow enough to sit at the back of (for proper lumbar support) and still be able to bend your knees. Try adding a nice extra-tall laptop riser too. Typical ones tend to be 6-12” too low once the desk is no longer too high for typing.
- wahnfrieden 8y agoHave a riser to recommend?
- mtsr 8y agoIt looks horrible, but at work I’ve been putting packs of A4 paper under the too low monitor stands of every flex desk I work at.
- cimmanom 8y agoI use one of these ones that are intended as standing desk converters: https://www.uncagedergonomics.com/standing-desks/ https://www.uncagedergonomics.com/standing-desks/
- dws 8y agoWill your feet know the difference if it isn't really the floor they're flat on?
- snowwindwaves 8y agoYes because I like to move my legs around a bit to the sides too and those little foot stools are too small. Or I roll away from the keyboard to use pen and paper and then have to move The foot rest.

It’s the first place I’ve worked that does this. Someone said it was somehow tied in with our health insurance company.
