I have to say that most sit stand desk converters on the market are sit on the top of work surface, which can not meet the need for individuals who are shorter than 5′ 11”(180cm) in their seated position.
Why?
The average height for contract desk furniture is 29 inch(736.6mm). The ideal seated typing height(conform to ergonomic posture) for a person with 5’11” (180cm) is 29 inch(736.6mm) off the floor. If you are under 5’11” feet tall, you are mostly not typing at right position.
Note: Population variety can result in dimensions being off by an inch or two.
The problem?
Most desk risers will raise seated elbow height for those individuals shorter than 5’11” (180cm).
If they put their hands at a higher position, it will cause pain and stress over time.
For example, i am 5’2”(158cm) tall. My shoulders are going to shrug if i put my hands on the desktop when the height is 29”.
Ideally when we are in seated position we want our hands to be at a much lower position.
Therefore
A very large population must utilize a keyboard tray that is bellow the work surface due to their height in the seated position and the height of their existing static desk.
It is really important especially when the solution is considering for government entity or corporate entity that we want to meet the needs for as many of the employees as possible.
However, most sit stand desk risers on the market will truly limits the users if the keyboard tray doesn’t meet their seated ergonomic typing posture.
According to ANSI/HFES_100-2007, the most spot on, comfortable and ergonomic posture should be a natural L shaped elbow position. See bellow four preference posture.
(See the reference: https://www.xybix.com/hubfs/ANSI_HFES_100-200727E2.pdf?t=1508538849931)
The height range for keyboard tray is minus 120mm/4.7inch ~ 305mm/12inch
