Redoing my Kitchen

[Warpy]

13. I'm 5'6" and agree they're too high

for most things. If I had to knead dough, for instance, I'd put it in a shallow pottery bowl in a chair or on a low table if I had it so I didn't get that spasm between my shoulder blades.

Maybe finding a contractor who does kitchens for the handicapped might be an idea, have him build those counters at least 6" shorter. I'm thinking out loud here because my kitchen also needs redoing. The strategies to avoid the stove sticking up would be to have either a cooktop or use a drop in range without a kick space.

It's crazy to stick to standard heights that don't work just because some man decided they were comfortable for him.
