Ergonomics question. Optimal table height?
I’ve always had shack tables made from whatever I had around. But this
time I’m building up a table and can pick the height. Of course it
depends on what chair you set in, and your body, etc. But I wonder if
guys had a particular preference or range.
Jeff,
I did a long study of this before I built my contesting barn desks. The
optimum distance turned out to be from the top of the desk surface to the
floor.
Seriously, I concluded ~29.5 inches was best to the desk top surface. I also
recessed the supports way back so Hams with long legs would not bump the
supports. Adjustable chairs work best without unnecessary desk surface
thickness. I used 1 and 11/16th inch thick solid core doors.
