[quote=Anonymous]We just had our kitchen remodeled and one of the problems with the old kitchen is that there was only 14" of space between the countertop and the upper cabinets. (They were 42" cabinets hung from a low soffit/bulkhead.) The recommended spacing is at least 18". When there is too little space between the counter and the upper cabinets, you will find that common appliances like a coffee maker and a mixer will not fit on the counter. And the appliances that do fit on the counter like a toaster, cause heat damage to the upper cabinets. We replaced the 42" cabinets with 39" ones and gave ourselves an extra 3". It's still only 17" but so much better than it was. For what it's worth, I'm 5'3" and I keep a stool in the kitchen (I stole it from the kids) to reach the higher shelves.[/quote]
