A desk that stops at 120 cm is elbow height for someone around 185 cm. Above that you hunch. A chair whose seat tops out at 50 cm puts a tall person's knees above their hips. We measure the ranges that matter and list the frames and cylinders that actually reach.

FAQ
What desk height do I need?
Standing: elbow height with shoulders relaxed, roughly 0.63 × your height. At 196 cm that's about 123 cm.
What seat height?
Knee height with feet flat, roughly 0.28 × your height. At 196 cm that's about 55 cm — above most chairs' range.
Are 'tall' frames worth the extra?
If you're over 190 cm, yes. Standard frames often lose the top 10 cm you need.
