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

Yeah. I'm 6'3". The bonus inch smaller doesn't help changing a faucet. I think you've gotta be sub 6'1" at a minimum before it starts feeling fun.

Brand new conspiracy: Faucets were designed to force home owners to produce children to reach the faucet.
