Question

Is 30 in. or 4 feet a better measurement for the height of a student's desk?

Answer 1

30 inches

My computer desk is 30 inches high. There is enough space underneath for my keyboard without interfering with my legs. So a 30 inch high student desk would have enough storage under the desk and above the legs.

A height of 4 feet would bring my desk up to my chin.

Answer 2

Do you mean the units or the actual size?

As far as units, either is acceptable.

As far as actual size, it depends on how high the chair you will be using is and how tall and/or fat the child is. Too low with a higher chair will squish the legs...where too high with too low a chair makes it tough and uncomfortable to be at the desk.
