Whenever you are working at a table which cannot be adjusted in height, you ought to align the users seat based upon the height of the table, lowering the chair until your arms are just above the table top. If your feet still do not rest flat on the carpet, you need to use a footrest in addition.

Depth of the chair

If the chair depth is not flexible, it should at the very least allow the user to sit within reach of the rear of the seat without having the backs of your knees pressing into the chair. The User is going to need to sit right at the back of the seat to make use of the backrest properly and assist the lumbar.
