Hi,

My slow kitchen refurb continues and I am finally about to hang the
wall units. I am wondering how high I should fix them. I have a tall
unit with a double oven in and my original plan was to put all the
cupboards at the same height so that the tops were level with the top
of the oven unit. However I think this will mean the cupboards are too
high to get maximum use from the top shelves.

I think I will have to hang the cupboards next to the oven unit at
that height for aesthetic reasons but I am wondering whether I could
mount the cupboards lower on the other walls. I have just had a quick
look via google and various web sites seem to suggest having the
cupboards somewhere between 450mm and 500mm above the work top. Does
this sound about right? How high do you mount your wall cupboards?

TIA
