No, if you are making one, just make the legs extra long then you can cut
them down afterwards :-p

The question arose when my grandchildren visited. I noticed that they were
having trouble cutting food because the kitchen-diner table was too high. I
checked it against my good dining table which is 29" and found it 1.25"
higher and removed the difference. It is still a little high for them, but
they go home at the weekend.
I understand, of course, that it also depends on their height and the chair
height, but surely some design guru has got a PhD out of this?

Only if you have standard height diners.

The message

And don't carry the legs anywhere near an armed rozzer.

I made a fixed kitchen dinner a few years ago. I have lowered its
height twice since then :-)

I'm coming to the conclusion they're all too tall for us average folk.
