I put our counters on motorized standing desk hardware. My wife's ideal height and my own are no where near compatible so now we can just hit our individual preset button.

Plumbing the sink was the trickiest part.

This sounds a really need idea, I can't really imagine how this would look/work in reality though, especially when you are cooking together

I surmise it'd look like a slow-motion version of an equalizer light diagram!

(It practicality each would likely pick the appropriate counter to set to a height).

Whoa, can you provide pictures/video of this? Getting this to look nice would be a lot of work!

I need to see this

Most people renovating their own homes are married. There's enough height difference between most married couples that trying to optimize beyond "yeah, close enough" is a fool's errand.

At least in the USA, most undercounter appliances and cabinetry and designed for a common height. Anything else is custom or ADA-compliant which costs more.
