The thing I don’t understand is why it’s more popular to have motorized desks that go up and down instead of just having fixed desks at standing height and taller chairs.
Sitting on a chair that you can’t put your feet on the ground is extremely uncomfortable. Even if they have a bar to put them on at the base, it’s still a very awkward position
I can tell the person who asked this is short, short people seem to be used to this and don’t feel uncomfortable like that. At least, according to my wife. I always feel very uncomfortable if my feet can’t be on the ground.
Probably helps that their legs are wayy lighter though. Square-cube law strikes again.
I actually like sitting up high, but I just tried sitting on my desk and I reflexively tensed my thigh muscles to keep my legs slightly raised. Otherwise the dead weight of my legs pulls me forward against the edge of the desk, which is uncomfortable. Maybe a short person can chime in with their own experience lol
I worked at a standing desk with a tall chair that had a bar for your feet. I found it was downright perfect. But, every solution will have the lovers and the haters.
Because of people like me who are much taller than the average person and would have a hard time using a set position desk that’s made for people between 5’4’’ and 5’9’'. It’s also bad ergonomics to sit so high your feet don’t reach the ground.
popular? I had never seen those and thought this comic made them up just for this joke? X3 what/where r they used for? I had never used a table and wished I could make it taller or shorter

Wait, you’re not supposed to put your feet on the chair?

Well the taller chairs would be a problem with the higher center of gravity I imagine
You ever fall off a barstool at a Chili’s when you’re gonna go piss because you forgot that the high tops where the only tables available?
I don’t wanna bring that embarrassment to the office.

You make it taller so you can work while standing, and lower when you want to sit.

They are a real thing. I had one at a previous job
Ooo yeah that looks great! and expensive too >u<
