That was the "rule of thumb" years ago when designing a kitchen...to have the bar sit above a 4" backsplash. I'm aware, TV is now featuring all one level counter tops. Call me old fashioned but I like having the ability to hide the mess in an open kitchen which overlooks the main living areas.
Different strokes, obviously, because I am anxious to have my island cut down to all one level. I hate that tall bar. I'm short and it leaves my feet dangling in the air.
