For versatility, plan for work counters of different heights; between twenty eight and thirty six inches off the floor (easier for chopping and seated-use access). A kitchen table is often positioned in a smaller kitchen where it may be used for the lower work surface. A higher counter between thirty six and forty six inches may also be considered  for general tasks (higher counters accommodate taller cooks).
