Proportionately they are -- my wingspan is a little longer than my height (my physical therpapist calls this my "ape index", ha!). If you look at the typical ergnomic desk setup (like this one: https://airawear.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1-desk-heigh...) my desk would basically have to be in my lap to be elbow height, which is why I need the hanging keyboard tray. I would love a lower desk, or one that lowers! But not possible right now...
