I'm a carpenter and I would have had you mark with a pencil where you wanted the shelves before starting, there's no argument then.
You shouldn't have let him decide, as only you know what you want to put on the shelves.
It's a bit tricky for you if you let him decide and then change your mind after he's finished, I'd be expecting a bit more to re-do it. With experience it's always best if the customer does the deciding.

Well we discussed it, I said I wanted them to start level with the bottom of the mirror. He said they’d be spaced out from the top suggesting working down instead of up. I agreed to trust his judgement.
So I’d agree with you to some extent but the top shelf at 2.3m doesn’t seem very practical. So I’m not sure this is solely my responsibility?
I’d be interested to here the perspective of any carpenters or trade people here.
