I'm asking because we're redoing our kitchen, and the current supplier, if that's the right word, we're checking out has switched from counter tops that are 90cm/35,4 in. high to ones that are 100cm/39,4 in high.

(Using the argument that "people have grown since 1950!", which is a euphemism for "now men cook too"... )

I'm 166cm/5 ft 5 tall and my dh is a tad taller, at 170cm/5 ft 7. And I already think our current counter at 90cm can be a bit tall, especially when I need to chop a lot of vegetables or knead a dough. I think 100 cm may just be too tall, unless we have a second counter top available somewhere else for the heavy-duty food prepping.

Anyone have an opinion on what the most comfortable height is?
