Layout & reach
Where items sit on the desk and how far you stretch to use them during a typical hour.
Considered desk setups
A calmer look at how your working space fits you
We study desks, chairs, lighting, and screen placement, then translate what we observe into clear, practical notes you can act on at your own pace.
- Desk geometry
- Seating posture
- Light & glare
- Screen height
Observation, not judgement
Field notes
What a session actually looks like
You walk us through a normal working day. We note the measurable details, ask questions about comfort and habits, and write up observations in plain language. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is prescribed beyond general, educational suggestions.
Why this exists
Most desks are inherited, rarely arranged
People tend to accept whatever desk, chair, and screen arrived first, then shape themselves around it. Our role is simply to slow down and describe what is happening, so the arrangement becomes a deliberate choice rather than an accident of furniture.
- We describe what we observe in measurable, neutral terms.
- We share general principles, not personalised health advice.
- You decide which adjustments suit your routine and budget.
Four lenses
The angles we look through
Each review is organised around four straightforward lenses. They keep the conversation grounded and the notes easy to follow.
Seating & support
Chair height, backrest contact, and how your feet meet the floor while you work.
Light & screen
Glare sources, screen distance, and the angle your eyes travel to read comfortably.
Movement rhythm
Natural pauses in the day and simple ways to add gentle variety to long stretches of sitting.
The arc of a review
Four unhurried steps
We keep the structure light so the focus stays on your real working day rather than a rigid checklist.

1written summary you keep
Figures describe our typical process and are shared for general information only.
Documented & transparent
Experience you can place
Grounded in years of patient observation
Our notes draw on a decade of reviewing home offices, studios, and shared work areas across Victoria. We reference widely published ergonomics guidance and explain the reasoning behind every observation so you can weigh it yourself.
Stated sources
We point to the public guidance we rely on.
No overreach
General information only, never a diagnosis.
The way we work
Clarity first, pressure never
We would rather give you three notes you understand than thirty you ignore. Every summary is written to be read once, revisited later, and shared with whoever helps you set up your space.
Observe
We describe, measure, and listen before suggesting anything.
Translate
Findings become plain notes, free of jargon and pressure.
Hand over
You keep the summary and decide what, if anything, to change.
Common questions
Before you reach out
No. We provide general, educational information about how a workspace is arranged. We do not diagnose, treat, or comment on any health condition, and we encourage you to speak with a qualified professional for personal concerns.
A written summary of observations and general suggestions, organised by the four review lenses. It is yours to keep, revisit, and share.
Not at all. We work with the desk, chair, and screen you already use. Any suggestions are optional and never tied to a particular brand or purchase.
Our office is at 20 Convention Centre Pl, South Wharf VIC 3006. Reviews can be arranged for nearby home and shared work environments.
