Worksurface (desk)

Problem

Tips

Corrective Action

I don't have enough room for my knees and feet under my desk.

A real common issue is not enough access or clearance under the worksurface.  For example file drawers that are in the way or boxes piled under the desk.

You end up sitting in an awkward position.

Free up space

Survey the work area and determine what is blocking access. For example it may be:

  • Pencil drawer that needs to be removed to make that space accessible for the legs

  • Boxes or other items stored under the desk that need to be relocated or gotten rid off.

Free up space under your desk.
