    Between 450mm and 600 mm from top of worktop depending on your height/room height. Bear in mind in you have an extractor there will be a specific measuremnt for that, and also if you have a tall larder unit you might want the top of that to be the same height as the wall units.

    Usually most people opt for about the 450/500mm mark

    Normally base units 870 high and wall units set by height of full high units or between 450 and 500 above worktops (900-> 910mm). If you tall towards 500 or a stump 450. The size of tiles used in a splash back can also help set the high to get nice cuts.

    2113mm is _normal_ of the top of my head. but take this with a pinch of salt.
