OT - standard kitchen worktop height?
Is there a "standard" height for kitchen worktops?
I fitted a Howdens/MFI kitcen a few years back and lowered the adjustable cabinet legs (-25mm) to get the worktop to sit flush with a window frame
rather than mess about with the window. The top surface of the 38mm thick worktop is 915mm off the floor leaving 877mm underneath.
Problem now is I want to replace the crap single oven for a better double oven, but they look to be around 875-900mm high and require
support/ventilation space underneath 
I'm not taking the whole kitchen apart, but SWMBO is not too chipper about the situation

Are you sure you're looking at double ovens for built under applications? Try looking

i aim for 910mm.
Assuming you are on about an integrated double oven, rathert than freestanding, then the 900mm height ones are for larder units (called built in
usually), built under ones go under the worktop and are around 720mm.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

DOH! 
Thanks for the feedback - realised I was looking at built IN and not built UNDER double ovens.
Game back on and SWMBO placated
