Don't be like me and get a standing desk where the lowest position is still too tall. Apparently it's designed for people who are at least 5'10" tall, at the bottom I have to use a footrest.
Same with chairs, many are designed for the average male height and won't drop low enough.
- godelski 1y agoI mean I'm 6' and my desk goes far higher than I'm comfortable with and lower than my 5'4" partner is comfortable with. I guess I would say, don't cheap out on things you want to last a long time and that you use frequently. Things like a desk are one of your most important "tools" as a developer, right? Just like a chair, monitor, and keyboard
- xtiansimon 1y ago> “…get a standing desk where the lowest position is still too tall.” I worked at a standing desk at a corp with a strong internal Ergonomics group. Our standing desks were pairs with adjustable chairs with a range of motion much greater than regular chairs. I remember this because I would have preferred using the Herman Miller Aeron, but the taller chairs were better suited for the adjustable desks.
