There is no single perfect desk height for everyone because comfortable working height depends on the user’s body, chair and equipment.
Practical specification
For seated work, feet should be supported, shoulders relaxed and forearms able to rest comfortably while typing. The screen should be positioned so the user can look ahead without bending the neck. Adjustable chairs and sit-stand desks make it easier to achieve a suitable set-up across a mixed workforce.
Shared workstations should be designed around adjustment rather than an average dimension. A quick DSE check is far more useful than assuming one desk height will suit every employee.
