Make the measurements negotiate first

Desk Fit Reality Check

An office chair pulled up to a desk with a colored clearance mat visible on the floor underneath.
Desk, chair, leg room, and foot support need to agree.

Enter the desk height and underside clearance, the chair's seat-height range, and a few measurements taken while sitting naturally. The result checks whether the chair can meet the work surface, whether your legs clear underneath, and whether a footrest can close the remaining gap.
