6 Tips to Use a Standing Desk Correctly

Correct desk height and computer screen position are fundamental for improving comfort and minimizing injury risk in the office (6).

For more information, please visit FreErgo.

To begin, set your standing desk at about elbow height. This means your elbows should be in a 90 degree position from the floor.

As a guide, the average 5’11” (180 cm) person would have their desk about 44 inches (111 cm) high.

Recommendations for screen position are not black and white, but the general consensus is to have it 20–28 inches (51–71 cm) from your face.

As a quick reference, the distance should be no less than from the tip of your middle finger to your elbow.

The top of your screen should be eye level, with a small upwards tilt of between 10 and 20 degrees. The idea is that you should never need to tilt your neck up or down.

If you’re using a laptop, try to align the keyboard with your elbow height.

However, this forces you to tilt the screen back and your neck downwards, which is not ideal for long-term use.

Bottom Line:

Adjust your desk and screen for your height. Your desk should align with your elbows, while the top of the screen should be at eye level.

To set specific height limitations on your Desky Dual, we’ve got some great tips to make your Desky life simple and efficient. Your Desky's default height range is from 23.62 in to 48.82 in in order to provide the widest range of heights to suit most users' ergonomic workspaces. However, you might want to limit this range depending on how you use the Desky within your home or office environment.

Setting a minimum or a maximum height under that default range can avoid accidental collisions with other furniture, for example, any equipment or drawers placed under your desk, as well as floating wall shelves placed above your desk. Let’s go ahead and learn how to set height limits on your new standing workstation!

How To Set Height Limitations on the Desky Dual

1. The first thing to do in any programming situation is to ensure all the cables to the control box under the Desky are firmly plugged in, including the power cable, both yellow leg cables, and the control panels.
2. Then, check the power outlet at the wall to ensure it is secure in place and switched on.
3. Next, make sure there are no obstacles under your Desky as we will be bringing it down to its lowest height.
4. To set your maximum height range, adjust Desky's height to your desired maximum, then press the "M" button and "S" will be displayed in the panel.
5. Immediately press the upper button here and the S will flash once.
6. Then, press and hold the M button until the display reads '999' to confirm you have just set your maximum height limit.
7. Now, to set your minimum height, simply repeat that process.
8. But where you immediately pressed the up button previously, instead, you should press the down button and it will display triple zero to confirm that the Desky will not go below that height.
9. To remove the maximum and minimum settings, press the M button and S will be displayed.
10. Then, press and hold the M button again until triple 5 is displayed to confirm you have successfully cleared all the settings. And that is how you set the height limitations on your Desky Dual under its default range.
