A standard height counter will force you to work with your arms up near shoulder height, causing much pain and discomfort and making working in a kitchen too hard. Kitchens counters need to be lower for wheelchairs as work is done from a chair (seated position) rather than while standing.
thanks guys this is all the things I thought would be handy and now you guys have suggested it I knew it wasn't in my head I'm only asking for many things to make life easier from my contractor thank you so much
Love the video but would love to see someone who actually uses a wheelchair to do the demo as sometimes fine motor skills can be an issue and need to be taken into consideration.
Good info. How about designs for an able bodied person living with a person with a disability, especially in regards to sink and stove top height. Thanks
Can't imagine functioning in this kitchen as a wheelchair user. So much information is available on kitchen modifications and design that could have helped these designers come up with something more practical. A wheelchair user needs undercounter knee space to cook and use the sink. Ergonomics and efficiency are limited in this design.
It's oretty clear you don't really know what you're talking about, if you hired someone with a disability instead of offensively putting an able bodied person in a hospital chair, maybe they could help you.
Wonderful. It's about time someone has a video with such attention to small details... Thank you. These are a must for my home projects...
I'm in a power wheelchair myself, & very interested in finding info on H/C-accessible homes and this vid. looks great!

Thank you for your video and pointing out things that for able body persons are not important, but are a necesity for limited mobilty persons

What about leaving the area below the cooktop open or having it pull out
The range cooktop is on a drawer cabinet, that's not designed for a wheelchair.
What happened to showing the cabinets?

Funny how they are talking about accessible drawers etc., but all the counters seem to be standard height rather than accessible from a chair! LOL!!!!
