Cecelia,
When I started here the director at that time said that the
eye level of the average american was 64" (5' 3").
I've been using it for 20 years and the very tall ( I'm 6' 4" )
thinks it's to low and the very short thinks it's to high.
The vast majorinty of the folks in the middle are happy
with it.
I have no idea where that director got his info, but
at every exhibit it seemed the show was hung right at
his eye level. Do you think.....................nah, he wasn't
that big of a (insert expletive)!!!
