I'm 5"2 1/2" tall. I was told counter height was too tall for anyone 5"3 and under. Don't bend your back, raise your shoulder or jut your neck is the key to cutting. My sewing machine is well below my elbows. I look down to sew. I can sew or cut all day and not be hurting the next day. What you are comfortable with may not be the best for you. I was awkward using the lower level for a while.
