While 39-inch high wall cabinets may seem like a good option, there are several reasons why they should not be used. Here are some of the main reasons why:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limited_Storage_Space\"><\/span>Limited Storage Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>39-inch high wall cabinets are only a few inches taller than standard 36-inch high wall cabinets, but they take up significantly more vertical space. This means you&#8217;ll have less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/how-to-plan-the-perfect-room-addition\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"6853\">room for additional<\/a> cabinets or shelves above, reducing your overall storage capacity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Awkward_Height\"><\/span>Awkward Height<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The height of 39-inch cabinets can make them awkward to use. They&#8217;re too high to reach comfortably without a step stool, but not tall enough to justify the loss of storage space. This can make it difficult to access items stored in the upper cabinets, which can be frustrating and inconvenient.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" title=\"%focuskw% %page%%sitename%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-80x53.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-40x27.jpeg 40w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1-100x67.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.elegantkitchenbath.com\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Stained-1-scaled-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost\"><\/span>Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>39-inch cabinets are typically more expensive than standard 36-inch cabinets due to their increased size.
