Office Chair Height Calculator
Seat height, depth and armrest height from your measurements — the chair setup most people never adjust.
The check beats the formula: sit back fully, feet flat on the floor, thighs roughly parallel, with two-to-three fingers of gap between the seat edge and the back of your knees. If feet dangle, the seat's too high (add a footrest); if knees rise above hips, too low. Armrests should let shoulders relax — too high hunches them, too low drops them.
