==Ergonomic desk==
The ergonomic desk is a modern [[desk]] form which, like the adjustable [[drawing table]] or drafting table, offers mechanical adjustments for the placement of its elements in order to maximize user comfort and efficiency. The ergonomic desk is usually a "stand-alone" piece of furniture allowing access to the adjustment mechanisms. Some ergonomic desks have a sufficiently large desktop height adjustment to create either a common "sit-down" desk or a less common [[standing desk]], which allows the user to work while standing. The ergonomic desk is usually a close companion to the ergonomic [[chair]].

The ergonomic desk originated with the beginning of the field of human factors or [[ergonomics]] after World War II.  Legislation stating minimal requirements for furniture used by office workers referred to ergonomic desk standards.

The desk area should be deep enough to accommodate a monitor placed at least 20 inches away from your eyes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/checklist_purchasing_guide.html |title=Computer Workstations eTool |publisher= United States Department of Labor |access-date=2020-01-18}}</ref>
