Your Work Surface

Ideally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.

A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to first adjust the height of the seat- pan of your chair. With your chair properly adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the keyboard or other input device.

If possible, choose a work surface with cable management capabilities. This will keep your cables and wires orderly, off the floor and out of your way.

It’s also best to choose a non-reflective work surface to minimize eye discomfort from reflections and glare.
