    That sounds plausible and might be true.

    Also I have to say that I am a rather tall guy and the only height-adjustable desk that had a usable maximum height for me e.g. was the one from Ikea.
    I think it is definitely not a specific Ikea or Swedish thing or has anything to do with the people being smaller (If anything, I think to remember that typical US citizens are actually smaller on average than most of the people in the northern parts of Europe…)

      Yeah danes seemed taller than most Americans to me too, so I can believe it. And yeah the furniture size comments I made are definitely not true across the board

        No no, I think now they might well mostly be true.
        Even the extra high desk I mentioned doesn’t cover much groundspace and is about as high as it is wide when fully extended…
