What height should a workbench be?

I am impressed with all the storage ideas here & know how l could make them work in my garage.  Thanks for the photos.

One question please.  What height should a work bench be for doing both metalwork & woodwork? 

                                                                           (I am approx. 180 cm tall, have a bad back & cannot bend over for long periods of time).

Hi @Ezzy,

I'm also around your height and with a bad back. I work at a bench around 900mm tall, and that's about right for me. You shouldn't have to bend over to work on anything at that height.
