Default Kitchen counter height

If you're planning on putting stools along the counter, you will have to
have the legs cut down, they are not made for that height.

36 inches is the standard height, although in some areas 42 inch high
counters are being installed.

The issue is that 36 inches is designed for the 'standard' American
male/female at 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10 inches of height. My wife and I are
under 5 feet 6, she is 5 feet 2. 36 inch counters are simply TOO high for
our comfort.

We want to build a new house and I am looking for resources that can get
us 32 inch counter height, as that will be MUCH more comfortable for us

I don't care if this is a non-standard customization, I don't intend to
EVER sell this house.
