Nest & Nook
Make the measurements negotiate first

Desk Fit Reality Check

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.

Private by default: this calculator runs locally in your browser. Nest & Nook does not save or transmit the measurements you enter.

Enter your measurements

1. Unit and desk
Measure the surface where the keyboard or hands actually rest.
Stop at a drawer, apron, crossbar, cable tray, or control box.
2. Chair and footrest
Enter 0 if no footrest is available.
3. Your seated measurements
Sit naturally with shoulders relaxed and elbows near a right angle.
Wear the shoes normally used at the desk.
Use the highest point that must pass under the desk.
