Height-adjustable table for working environment and ergonomics.

How do I adjust the height adjustable table correctly?

March 12, 2026

When adjusting the table height it is important to observe the following rules:

  • The table should be at a height that allows us to place our forearms comfortably on the surface in front of us when placing the keyboard and mouse.
  • The forearms should be parallel to the floor with a 90-100 degree angle at the elbow joints. If the angle is greater, the table is too low. If the angle is less then the table is too high.
  • Shoulders should feel free. If you can feel that your shoulders are slightly raised, then the table is too high
  • When working with a stationary monitor, the top line of the monitor should be at or slightly below eye level.
  • When working standing upright, it is advisable to stand freely, with your back straight, without leaning on the table surface.
Principles of table regulation

It is recommended that 20-25% of the total daily working time is spent standing, with regular changes from sitting (approx. 15-20min) to standing (10-15min).

By adjusting the table height correctly and observing the sit/stand interval ratio, work efficiency increases by 10-20%. Concentration and stress levels are significantly increased.
