For taller clients go up to 20 high. I m buying a table that is 30 high and 96 long. Tall 38 39 97cm 99cm makes a practical tall workbench height.
I ve decided to build a bench to run along one side and plan to put pillows on the bench. The evenness of the floor also needs to be taken into account. A bench in a child s bedroom or playroom can be lower to accommodate smaller legs.
