Base cabinets are 24 inches deep and 34 inches high. When the countertop is added, the base cabinet will be a standard 36 inches high. Clearance between upper cabinet and counter should be 15-18 inches. If you are shorter, you may want to go with lower level for wall cabinets. If going with the standard 18" and a 4" backsplash, that will leave you 14" for backsplash area for tile.
