>Be aware, though, that these design standards are aimed at making things comfortable for average people, who are 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 8 inches in height
(women average 5'3" and men 5'8" in the US)
At 5'11", I find that any long prep sessions in the kitchen create a lot of mid back pain and so I have to use multiple thick cutting boards to raise up the counter level. It would be awesome to have a prep table sturdy enough for kitchen use that could be easily raised/lowered like a standing desk.

- wintermutestwin 4y agoConsidering that the average male height in the Netherlands is 6'1", I am not surprised. I'd be curious to know how high kitchen counters are there.
