It's whatever is most comfortable for you.

I was trained to type back in the days of Remington typewriters so my seating position is probably quite different to a lot of people - plus I use the legs on the back of the keyboard to give it some angle.

But if it helps the cushion on my chair is about 6 inches below the top of the desk and I definitely don't lean forward - but then I've also got long arms.

I understand what you're going through though - we bought a new chair for my office a couple of months ago and I couldn't use it because it was just that little bit too low at it's highest point.

I ended up pulling it to pieces and using it to replace the arms and back on my old chair just so that I had the right height. When you're sitting in the chair for 8 to 10 hours a day it's important to get it right.
