Mine is 38" high, which is perfect for me for seated operations. I can sit or crawl under the layout to work on wiring and whatnot and not bump my head. I can stand and reach well into the layout if need be to throw a switch or rerail cars. My layout is deep, at 48", but that's a necessity, considering my layout is built in a bonus/attic room and the walls are also the ceiling, and slope inward as they rise. What's not hidden track is actually only about 30-36" deep though. I have approximately a 14" high backdrop hiding the loop of mainline that travels around the layout. Sitting down on a rolling stool, the layout is at eye level, which is exactly what I wanted. I can then stand and still reach very far into the layout for the occassional mishap.
