The most common and standard benchtop height is 900 mm, it is the ideal working height for a person between 1.65 m to 1.75 m tall. However, if your body height is not in the standard range, then it’s better to work out the right benchtop height. To do this, just bend the forearm, pretending that you’re stirring a pot and measure the distance between the floor and your bent arm. The optimal working height for you should be this distance minus 10 to 15 centimetres. However, the benchtop heights in the kitchen may vary according to your size and personal preferences.
