Arm Rest Height
The height of the armrest from the floor.
ArmRestHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in chair and workstation design to position armrests at the correct height for relaxed, supported arm posture during seated tasks. This is a workspace measurement, not a body measurement.
Posture
Sit in your normal seated position with arms relaxed at the sides.
Landmark
Measured from the floor to the top surface of the armrest.
Tool
Tape measure or rigid ruler.
Common mistake
Measure the actual armrest surface of your chair or workspace. Do not estimate or measure the height at which you would prefer the armrest to be.
