there's no standard measure for "suitable". It depend's on your family's height. I guess, using same height as your kitchen's table top should be fine..

kitchen and basin is different bcoz ur kitchen sink is same level with ur table while ur counter top basin is above ur table. According to ur height is after taking into account of ur basin. If u r using vanity basin den ur table is higher, counter top table is lower. For me, i would prefer 31" for table after adding the basin of 7" it would be 38", my height is 170mm.

if you have cabinet at the bottom, then rise up 6 to 8 inces from floor,
cabinet height is around 20 to 22 inches + granite or solid surface (1 inch) then add your basin around 6 to 8 inches.

total must not more then 34 inches. no matter how tall you are.

Dear edwardsiow, the measurement i gave u just now was based on my actual measurement of the display unit in my showroom. I spent 10 minutes googling the internet to confirm the answer for you. I usually give free advise but i might wanna charge u since u didnt buy the basin from me haha. Add it in ur jacuzzi bill.

Btw, the height is measured from floor to the top of ur table.

Standard Height
Most manufacturers of bathroom cabinets consider 29 or 30 inches as the standard height. Once the countertop is put on, the standard height will increase by approximately 1 inch, to 30 or 31 inches in total height.

21) Bathroom cabinet height: Standard is 29" so with the countertop it's like a table, but this is quite short for adults to use a sink. Some manufacturers are now making bathroom vanities at 32-33" tall. I used a compromise for our kids at about 31" plus the countertop.

Most of the answers are all available online, so just put a little more effort to google and do your homework but u can feel free to PM me for quick answer. I might b wrong but i am just trying my best to save ur headache.

Thanks zheilwane..I did google all the information but I still afraid I am wrong..So, I would like to ask here to give me confidence...my contractor did my table at 31" and after put the basin will be 38"..same as what you have said...I afraid it will be too high...because this is my first time experience with counter-top type basin...Below is my opinion...

Everyone know that the standard height of table is around 31" to 33"..So, when talking about putting a counter-top type basin (Vessel sink), a lot of people will think to lower down the table (offset the height of the basin) and get the final height of 31" to 33" when the basin is put on the table..with the table height of 26" (after offset 7"), i feel the table quite low...

but, why we need to buy counter-top type basin when it is no different with other type of basins? prettier? more modern? anyway, we still need to bend our back when brushing teeth or washing face...

So, I agreed that counter-top type basin should sit higher than other type basins so that we don't need to bend our back when brushing teeth or washing face...but this theory won't work for kid...that's why I only buy counter-top basin for master bathroom...
