yep tried winding the legs right in but I'm still too high, I just went to our local kitchen manufacturer and bought new shorter legs.

of course once she who would possess all things expensive found out the cupboards could be dropped to 850 mm there was no talking her out of it, "They would have been too high anyway!".

Given i am sticking to the original standard height then they would have been no different to what we had before, but there is no arguing with her.......I simply obey.

However it may be for the best, she is roughly 5' 3" and may have found the bench top a bit high.

I don't like the idea of the stove sitting on top of timber or something that may give way over time, the oven door is very heavy, the stove is 900 wide, I do a lot of cooking with my grandkids, nothing fancy, just cakes, scones, pasties, pie's that sort of thing.

My littlies love to open the door to have a peek and sometimes it gets opened a little bit faster than it should, I would hate to see it slide forward and come off the blocks.

there have been instances of one little bloke sitting on the open door of the oven, good job the thing weighs a ton. (well bloody heavy anyway)
