Is this set too high?

Is setting the 36" high niche 40" off the floor too high? That would put the top of it at 76" and the highest shelf at 64".


Pre-fabricated niche is 14 x 36" (interior space is 13.25 x 35.25") (pictured in blue)

It will have 2 added shelves, set 12" apart

Tiles are 6 x 12" and assuming 1/16" grout lines.

Tub is 20.5" high x 32" wide (pictured in gray)

Ceilings are ~9'


I want the bottom of the niche to line up with the row of tiles, though I'm unlikely to be able to get it to align at the top as well when grout is factored into the numbers.

Dropping it down a row of tiles would reduce 6 inches off the top height, down to 70", which maybe is more reasonable?


What are peoples gut feelings?
