Conventional medicine is the type of medicine that the people who control the medical education system have deemed to be the most appropriate system of medical care. In the United States, conventional medicine consists primarily of drugs and surgery, which are the most widely used treatment modalities.
There are common established heights for table/counter surface and seating combinations. They are: Table height: 30in (750mm), with a chair at 18in (450mm). Counter height: 36in (900mm), with stools at 24 in (600mm). Standard bar height: 42in (1050mm), stools at 30in (750mm).
I am only 5 feet tall, so it REALLY seemed high to me. We did some research online and it seems that the standard height for breakfast bars is around 42, and standard stool height is 30. In order to get stools to properly fit a bar height of almost 48, we would have to get extra tall stools (36). The breakfast bar has a sink and counter tops on the opposite side (they face the living room), so we're figuring the bar is tall so that the sink is hidden from view.
