I'm going round in circles looking at camp kitchens. I'm looking to buy a kitchen stand both to stand and chop etc and also to cook at. My OH is 6ft 4" and I'm fairly average height but want comfort in use. I don't want to be stooping to use it. To my mind I need something around 90cm high. Most seem lower than this. Can you recommend anything?

Just a thought, it might work out too expensive, but we have a Wynnster cooking station. It has 3 shelves with folding legs that clip together, each about 25cms high. If you bought 2 stations and clipped 4 shelves together....

Or keep checking ebay for a Hago kitchen, that's modular and I don't see any reason why you couldn't use an extra section.

Debs,

I am 6'3 and we have just got the Eurohike camp kitchen from Millets. Having set it up it seems a good height for me to cook at, so your husband should be fine. You can find it here and they take off 20% at the checkout, making it about £36 with delivery. Not a bad price for a good product.

Good luck!

This one is 91 cm high - i have bought storage boxes the right height for the shelves and store stuff in them in the garage then take the lids off and slide in and out like drawers while we are camping

Some great ideas, thank you. Not sure about the Hago as it looks quite flimsy compared to the outwells / royals etc. I like the Gelert one too, Debs, though the work surface space may be a bit limited. Well done for finding storage the right size. I've spent years doing that for ikea bookshelves!

We have a brand new Gelert stand and a 20 odd year old hago and the hago wins hands down. Its a bit of a fiddle to put up but when its there its rock solid.

I coveted Hago for years, managed to get some and then didn't get on with it. I'm not sure you could stack it to a great height though - I suspect it would get pretty unstable?
