My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Height of upper cabinets

10 years ago
It looks like there is more than the "standard" 18" between the counter top and the upper cabinets. What is the dimension?

    24" for ease of use.

    Thanks! I have been considering using 24". I am 5'-2", and my only concern is accessibility.

    The first level of cabinets and shelves should be fine but you will run out of reach pretty quickly. That is true for 18" as well though so I like to design for the use of the workspace first.

    That clarifies the benefits for me. Thanks!
