I'm still struggling to find the best work-from-home desk and chair setup. For a long time, I used a portable rectangular table. Then got an L-shaped desk, as that is more similar to what I have in my cubicle at work. I often sit with my legs crossed, so I wanted the desk to be high enough not to get in the way of my legs. But the desk I bought is slightly too high. I thought I could adjust my chairs higher if necessary, but it turns out that most chairs can't adjust as high as I'd like. There's also the issue of when the chair is too high, the feet don't get enough support, and maybe that contributes to swollen ankles at the end of the day. So yep, having the desk too high isn't good.
If you're considering using a keyboard tray to hold the laptop lower for typing, it might be worthwhile getting an external keyboard and mouse. Then only the keyboard would need to go on the tray. You can also then place the laptop up on a small shelf or stack of books (for example) on top of the desk to position its screen higher and closer to eye-level.
