| Considering IKEA which only comes in 30 and 39" heights. Trying to figure out if 39" is just too tall to use with 8' ceilings. Don't care a lot about having big amounts of molding at the top. I think IKEA makes some kind of strip for above them but I haven't really checked out yet how tall it is.
All electric house so height of cabinets close to burners not as much of an issue as with a big gas cooktop.
Anyone have any opinions and/or photos? |

| 39" is perfect for 8'. 18" between counter and wall cabinets is standard, leaves 3" at the top which is filled with molding. |

| I did 39" with my 8 ft ceilings. I really prefer the extra height. No pictures yet, I haven't put the molding up on top yet. |

| Mine are at least that tall in my 8' room. They make the room look bigger because of the strong vertical line. Just make sure you have a good lightweight step stool nearby. I use mine often to get things from the top shelves. |

| 39" is the perfect height for uppers with an 8' ceiling. That's what we used in our last house. 36" lowers + 18" between cabinets + 39" uppers + 3" crown molding = 96". |
