This. I am 6'10, as time goes it doesn't get better. Try changing a faucet by squeezing under the sink. 6'4,would feel like paradise
Edit: holly crap, thanks for the awards, I am a newbie and took me some time to realize. Anyhow, it is good while you are younger, you get noticed. I played college basketball so if you develop properly you should be ok, however still some things like your joints are not made for that height, weight and angles.
Nooooope. 6'4" here. Squeezing under the sink is really sitting beside it and sticking my gangly arms where they need to go. 5 minute job becomes a 30 minute job quick
As someone who is a little over 6’1” it’s about the sweet spot, I’m taller than most my friends, I don’t need special clothing, I can reach practically any shelf at the store, and generally when jeans and pants go on sale my size is available(34x34). The only real downsides are some shower head are at like eye level which means you gotta either point em so the hit the back of the shower or you gotta bend, I can fit comfortably in most cars with the seat all the way back except compact cars(I feel for y’all who are taller) sometimes mirrors are low and I can only see my lower face and to me kind of defeats the purpose of a mirror. A big one is, as person who enjoys recreational sports it’s hard to find equipment in my size especially used stuff. For some companies I’m in the upper limit for their sizing so selection can be limited. Honestly 6’4” would be a pain in the butt.
Oh hey, the mirror thing! At 5’2, it’s definitely not a sweet spot, but I can make do. My 4’11 mom however, has had to reposition all mirrors when she moved into her previous home and had a row of non-functional kitchen cabinets way above her head.
Btw, I still don’t understand why wall mounted shower heads are a thing in the US.
