How to Measure for a Desk

Width, depth, height, chair clearance, and ergonomic eye-to-screen distance. Five quick measurements for a productive home office.

A desk that's 10 cm too deep crowds the room. 5 cm too tall ruins your wrists. Get it right the first time with five iPhone measurements.

Po co to mierzyć

  • Fit the desk in the room with chair-pull-out clearance
  • Ergonomic height for your body
  • Monitor distance from eyes
  • Cable management clearance behind

Czego potrzebujesz

  • iPhone with Ruler AR
  • Length and Height modes

Krok po kroku

  1. Wall space. Tap the wall area where the desk will go (width × ceiling clearance if shelves above).
  2. Chair pull-out. From wall: desk depth + chair depth + 30 cm walk-around space. Total ~120-150 cm.
  3. Desk height. Ergonomic standard: 72-76 cm. If you're tall (190+ cm), prefer 76 or adjustable.
  4. Monitor distance. Eye-to-screen: 60-80 cm. Use Height mode to measure your eye level when seated; then ensure the desk is deep enough for that distance.
  5. Cable clearance behind. Need 5-10 cm gap behind for cables. Many desks go flush against wall, check yours.

Wskazówki

  • Sit-stand desks add 20-30 cm of vertical travel, check ceiling clearance with shelves above
  • L-shaped desks need clearance on both legs of the L

Częste błędy

  • Buying a wide desk for a narrow room, chair can't pull out
  • Wrong height, wrist strain over time

Częste pytania

Standard desk depth?

60-80 cm. Less than 60 puts the monitor too close. More than 80 wastes floor space.
