Is there a minimum ceiling height required for overhead benching storage?

Overhead benching storage (like hutch units or overhead bins mounted to the benching spine) typically adds 14"–20" above the worksurface. On a standard 29" surface height, that puts the top of overhead storage at 43"–49" — well within any standard 8-foot or higher ceiling. However, if you're installing in a space with 7-foot ceilings (sometimes seen in converted retail or basement offices), verify clearance. OSHA requires a minimum 7'6" clear height in occupied work areas. FindOfficeFurniture.com can verify product dimensions for your space — call 888-719-4960 for help.
