For those wanting context, the normal-height guy posts videos, usually of him pranking his mom surprising her by playing trombone while she's doing something.

He's the only person of normal height in his family, the rest of his family (both parents, as well as his siblings) have a form of dwarfism, thus why everything in their house is designed for people of smaller than average stature. Excellent and practical design for their family, except him.

I never imagined dwarves put in special furniture, I figured they just "deal with it". Maybe it's just the rich ones who get custom-height furniture

It’s definitely expensive. My son has dwarfism and while he will be taller than Peet’s mom, we have made some modifications to our house. Ex. When we redid his bathroom making sure we got a shower bar so we can move the shower head up and down in there. We’re hoping to remodel our kitchen sometime soon and things like a drawer microwave, built in stools that pull out from the counter, a range instead of wall oven, etc. are all things we’re keeping in mind. Even when he was a toddler, normal lifejackets didn’t fit him properly, shoes were impossible to find (very wide feet), stools he could carry around himself…all extra considerations and sometimes more expensive than just grabbing what they have at the store.

For those who don't fully get it, these things are safety considerations. Like having a microwave at his height means less risk of spilling something hot on himself from overhead. I'm 5'3" and hate my under cabinet microwave because of how I have to reach up to grab hot bowls filled with hot liquid.
