Desk height
Elbows should rest with the shoulders down. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
Sit in the chair you will use. The desk height follows the chair, not a standard from a catalogue. Roll the chair in. If the arms hit the top, one of them is wrong. Usually it is the desk apron.
A desk that is too high shrugs the shoulders all day.

Elbows should rest with the shoulders down.
The knee space should clear the chair arms.

Desk height is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
