FingertipHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in workspace and storage design to determine the lower limit of comfortable reach for standing users, such as the lowest shelf position.
Posture
Stand upright, arm hanging relaxed at the side, fingers straight and together.
Landmark
Measured from the floor to the tip of the middle finger.
Tool
Tape measure fixed vertically to a wall.
Common mistake
Curling the fingers downward to reach further gives an artificially low result. Keep fingers straight.
