The toolbars initially appear at the top of the program window, beneath the menu bar. However, they are dockable so you can, by dragging, anchor them on another edge of the window or float them to give a larger working area. They cannot be resized. See Using dockable windows and toolbars.
The toolbars can be shown or hidden, or the buttons on the toolbars re-organised. See Customising the toolbars.
