I have mine so it is about 75" which for me is about 3-4" above the top of my head and thus about 6" above my eyes. This seems to work well for me

I will take your word for it that the room is 9 X 11, You need to be able to work in a U shaped plan that does nto interfere with the door and you need to remove the wall cabinets. This is the first. The base cabinets and the desk can stay, you can build the layout over the top of them leaving...

I must be missing something here. 10 x 10> You mean a 10 x 10 room size. If the layout was 10 x 10 you would need a multitude of hatches for access. It makes much more sense to do a layout that is around the wall no more than 2 feet wide. I just read again about the UP Cascade subdivision...
