Workspace Check-Points
Reference ratios used in many office ergonomics guides. Adjust gradually and re-check after one week.
- Monitor top edge: At or slightly below eye level when sitting tall.
- Screen distance: About an arm's length from your seated position.
- Elbow angle: Near 90–100 degrees when hands rest on keyboard.
- Keyboard: Close enough that wrists stay neutral, not bent upward.
- Feet: Flat on floor or on a stable footrest; thighs roughly parallel to floor.
Pain-Point Checklist
Check areas that apply to you today. Matching adjustment notes will appear on the right.
Select one or more items to see suggested desk changes.
Neck: Raise monitor so the top third of the screen aligns with eye level. Add a document holder beside the screen to reduce downward glances.
Lower back: Move seat pan depth so two fingers fit between seat edge and knee. Add lumbar support or a rolled towel at belt line.
Wrists: Lower keyboard tray or raise chair so forearms stay parallel to floor. Keep mouse at the same height as the keyboard.
Eyes: Increase font size ten percent, reduce glare with a matte filter, and follow the 20-20-20 pause from our Desk Reboot catalog.
Shoulders: Bring keyboard and mouse closer so elbows stay at your sides. Lower armrests if they push shoulders upward.
Feet: Use a footrest or lower the chair until thighs are level and feet rest flat. Avoid crossing legs for long blocks.
Re-Check Rhythm
After any hardware change, use the checklist again after three to five workdays. Small shifts often matter more than a single large purchase.
