Five feet from your desk? Vertically? I'm 6' 4" tall and rest assured I've never stepped up to a desk that struck me in the shoulders or required a ladder to scale up to the 4' chair required to sit at such a desk.
For reference, standard tables are on average 30" high and chairs will meet your ass at about 18" to 22" depending on your hydraulic settings.
