What is counter height?

Counter Height Information

Counter height, often referred to as standard counter height, typically ranges from 36 inches (91 cm) from the floor to the top of the countertop. This height is generally considered comfortable for most adults to work at while standing. It's the most common height found in kitchens and bathrooms.

However, it's important to note that "counter height" can be a bit of a broad term. There are other common counter heights, such as:

• Bar Height: Around 42 inches (107 cm), suitable for use with bar stools. You can find more about this on this website: Bar%20Height
• Table Height: About 30 inches (76 cm), more commonly used for dining tables or desks. Related topic on this page: Table%20Height

When planning a kitchen or other space with counters, it's vital to consider the primary users and their needs. Factors influencing the choice of counter height might include:

• User Height: Taller individuals may prefer slightly higher counters for better ergonomics.
• Accessibility: Those with mobility limitations may benefit from adjustable-height counters or dedicated sections at a lower height.

Finally, when choosing Countertop Materials (Countertop%20Materials), thickness and installation details might slightly influence the final height. Always verify the final installed height to ensure it meets your needs.
