Let us begin with the traditional rectangular office desk. How can we make this standard 30 inch high office desk more comfortable to work behind? As simple an item as a modular desk extension can allow us to set our computer monitor at an exact height level. If this is inconvenient place that monitor at a 45° angle on the corner of our desk, to create much the same effect. Ergonomic keyboards and seat cushions also go a long way towards lessening fatigue. Rectangular office desks are inherently not ergonomic. As such, we must add to them small accoutrements and make them more user-friendly.

One might ask how can furniture such as a glass office desk be ergonomic? Quite obviously the most noticeable feature of glass office desks is their transparency. Being able to see the location of a briefcase or folders placed on the floor or in a module adjoining our desk is very easy to do when looking through a glass desktop. This reduces extraneous stretching and leaning over chair arms.
