The first step to finding your perfect desk is to understand how you will use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you someone who needs space for multiple monitors and storage or do you just need room for a laptop and keypad? Do you enjoy moving around during your workday or prefer to sit still to focus? Figuring out how you will use your desk will help you find to the perfect fit for you and your work style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-deep-should-your-desk-be\"><strong>How Deep Should Your Desk Be?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding how you interact with your desk, you will know what depth complements your needs. The average desk depth is between 20\u201d to 30\u201d, with the most common depths between 24\u201d and 30\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth depends on several different factors, such as the purpose of your desk, what you keep on it, and the size of your space. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>If you have multiple monitors and need a spot for writing, an <a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/63319F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">L-shaped desk<\/a> gives you the space you need. Maybe you need less surface area, but lots of file space. That&#8217;s where a <a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/grRCDY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">built-in storage desk<\/a> comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-longdesc\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"1100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hudson_662701_16e-1.jpg\" alt=\"Side detail of Hudson executive wood desk.\" class=\"wp-image-26051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hudson_662701_16e-1.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hudson_662701_16e-1-475x624.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hudson_662701_16e-1-780x1024.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hudson_662701_16e-1-768x1008.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/B50897\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Shop this room<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of your space is a critical factor in determining your desk depth. Before you choose a desk, measure the area where it will be placed. In smaller rooms, a small desk with a depth between 16\u201d and 24\u201d can help maximize the available space. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/430133\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beam bookcase<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/G5XNAE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Copenhagen office cabinet<\/a> are great options for optimizing small workspaces. In larger rooms, you can have a desk with a deeper surface, as deep as 30\u201d to 36\u201d. Depending on your space and needs, a <a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/xuQsaQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom desk<\/a> would be a great option. You can tailor the desk height, depth and width to your workspace needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-best-desk-height\"><strong>What Is the Best Desk Height?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no \u201cone size fits all\u201d typical desk height. Comfort is key, and everyone\u2019s comfort is different. The desk height is important for overall comfort. The standard measurement for desk height ranges from 28\u201d to 30\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to ensure the proper height for your desk is to have your arms, wrists and hands in a neutral position while you work. With your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, you want your desk to be at elbow height so that your hands rest naturally on the keyboard tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-style-longdesc\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"1257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/parsons_297911_NS_19e-1.jpg\" alt=\"Home office with Parsons walnut L-shaped desk, LW Office Chair in grey, \nBarlow table lamp and a gallery wall of Profile picture frames.\" class=\"wp-image-26053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/parsons_297911_NS_19e-1.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/parsons_297911_NS_19e-1-475x713.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/parsons_297911_NS_19e-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/parsons_297911_NS_19e-1-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.roomandboard.com\/mrm72y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Shop this room<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are someone who likes to move around while you work and wants the flexibility to choose your own desk height, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomandboard.com\/catalog\/office\/desks?filter=Adjustable+Standing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adjustable height desk<\/a> might be the perfect fit for you.
