The Workspace Fit Planner
Answer four questions and get your personal desk heights plus a short, reasoned list: one desk, one chair, and the accessories that suit how you work. Every recommendation cites the spec it is based on.
Measure the wall or alcove where the desk will stand — not the desk you wish you had.
Your personal plan
Formulas used: sitting desk height ≈ height × 0.39 · standing desk height ≈ height × 0.615 · seat height ≈ height × 0.25. These are widely used anthropometric approximations — a starting point for adjustment, not a prescription.
Ergonomic guidance here is general information, not medical advice. If you have a musculoskeletal condition, talk to a qualified professional.

Herman Miller Aeron vs Steelcase Leap: Two Ergonomic Icons
Two decades-old designs that still define the category. Here is how their published specs compare.
| Specification | Herman Miller Aeron | Steelcase Leap V2 |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes available | A, B, C — sized by body height and weight | One size, with adjustable seat depth |
| Back material | Pellicle mesh, zoned tension | Upholstered with LiveBack flexible frame |
| Lumbar support | PostureFit SL adjustable pads | Adjustable lower-back firmness dial |
| Weight capacity | Up to 350 lb (size B/C) | Up to 400 lb |
| Warranty | 12 years | 12 years |
| Best for | Warm rooms and precise sizing | Shared or changing users |
Our read: choose the Aeron if you can match yourself to a size and prefer mesh airflow; choose the Leap if the chair will serve more than one person. Both carry 12-year warranties.

Editorial methodology
How we research, honestly stated
Ergoluma does not do hands-on product testing, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our research starts with manufacturer-published specifications — height ranges, load ratings, adjustment ranges, materials, and warranty terms.
We accept no sponsored placements and no paid rankings.
Height ranges, capacities, and warranties come from official documentation.
We describe what products are specified to do. We do not claim to have tested them.
Rankings and recommendations cannot be bought.
