Reply to: I have 10' ceilings. I wanted my cabinets to go all the way to the ceiling because I like the look and hate all the gook that collects on top of cabinets. I decided against stacked cabinets because I would need a ladder to open the doors of the upper cabinets. Instead I did 54" high cabinets with two panels. I don't think they look nearly as big as they are. I can reach the bottom 3 shelves and I can see what is on the top shelf. I haven't put anything up there yet, but I'm sure a tall step stool would do the trick. Here are a couple pictures I just took (still moving in so it's kind of empty). You could do the same thing with the smaller panel at the top of the door and put glass in the top panel. That gives you the look of stacked cabinets at a much lower price.

Reply to: We have 10 foot ceilings and decided to go all the way up. I love the way they turned out! We dropped the trim down a bit, (you can see what I mean in the photos)so the doors wouldn't be too tall. Here's some pics: Our builder does only 10 foot ceilings in his home. His web-site has lots of pics of finished kitchens some with cabs that go all the way up and some that don't. His website is stonecrofthomes.net
