Could you please tell the height of the countertop. I'm am building a home and love the countertop over front loaders but I am only five feet tall so I worry will it be too high. Thanks

The height of the counter top will depend on the machine ht itself : 38 " - 42 " . Check the specs.

Front loader machines are typically about 38" high. Which would mean your counter top would end up being approximately 40" high.

It might be wise to leave a little wiggle space between the countertop and the machines to accommodate a new machine later on that may have an altered height, even by the same manufacturer.

Usually I install the cabinets first, then tile around them.
