Fridge sticking out too much?
We just installed new cabinets and our fridge is sticking out a lot more than expected. I saw the fridge in the store and only the doors were sticking out past the cabinets. I called the company we purchased it from to see if we could push the fridge back towards the wall even further and they said that the cabinet panel should have been extended to the end of the countertop which would cover the exposed sides of the fridge. I'm curious why this wasn't done in our kitchen since we were always going to go with a counter-depth fridge from the beginning when we were planning the kitchen with our contractor's kitchen designers. The way it looks now makes it seem like we got a standard depth fridge with how much of the side of the refrigerator is exposed. I asked our contractor about it and was told that the fridge panel is only offered in 24" depth but I called another distributor of the brand of cabinets (Waypoint) and was told it is offered in 24" and 30" depth which could be cut down to whatever depth we need. To be honest, I'm disappointed with how it looks now but our contractor is saying that the way it is currently sticking out is completely normal. I'm not sure if I should insist on it getting fixed (since they knew what appliances we have before the cabinets were ordered) or if it really is normal this way? This is my first time doing a kitchen remodel, so I'm not sure what is normal and what isn't.
