My general understanding is that your monitors and yourself should form a triangle, with the distance b/w the monitors being the same as distance b/w u and the monitors. For example, if your monitors are 3 ft apart the distance from your listening position to the monitors should be 3 ft. In the video below the guy talks about it.

ears and monitors should be at the same height positioning and close range would help triangle position

Nearfield monitors are meant to be placed within 1 to 2 meters/yards from listening position (and from each other). As noted above, you'll want them in an equilateral triangle.
If they'll be on the desk instead of on stands I would recommend properly decoupling them. IsoAcoustics makes great desktop stands that provide great decoupling - they've got test results published on their website and you'll find them under most monitors at any music convention.

As mentioned above it depends on the kind of monitors you have eg Nearfield or not. Ideally these would be close and you should be sitting at the tip of an equilateral triangle.
It is also important to avoided corners at all costs.
