How do I match guest chair seat height to my desk height?

Standard desk height is 28"–30", and standard guest chair seat height is 17"–19". This pairing works well: with the chair at 18" seat height and a 29" desk, the guest's elbows should be near the desk surface when sitting naturally — appropriate for signing documents, reviewing materials, and conversational positioning. If your desk is non-standard (a higher executive desk surface, or a sit-stand desk at elevated position), adjust accordingly: a seat height that puts the guest's eye level roughly 12"–14" below the work surface creates an ergonomically comfortable meeting position. Most standard commercial guest chairs at 17"–19" seat height work with standard desks without adjustment. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for guest chair height selection help.
