At a previous job, I had a great setup: I had a drafting table but I set it up where the front was higher than the back - not dramatic, maybe only a couple of inches. That way my elbows could be on the desk but they weren’t forced at 90 degrees or pitch my wrists up. Basically my arms were slightly open more than 90 degrees and my wrists were always relaxed. I loved it. My new place just has a regular sit-stand desk and it’s been bothering me. I’m thinking of asking for a drafting table. I’ve never found a more comfortable arrangement. When I need to sit and think, I use a stool rather than lower the table. It works for me since I come from chemistry and we always had stools at the lab benches, so it just feels natural for me.
