Are these custom cabinets or semi-custom on a 3" increment?

I did a kitchen where exactly centering the range hood over the range would have required a super skinny filler at one end in an obvious location, a cabinet 3" smaller with a wide filler, or pulling the entire base cabinet run on one run from the wall, which would have meant a seamed end panel on the tall cabinet end of that run.

Based upon these variables,having the range hood 1/2" off center seemed the most acceptable option, although this was discussed with the owner in advance.

Ask them, there may be a good reason. You may still want it redone, but there could be something other than a mistake behind it.

These are 100% custom cabinets. There is a filler at the very end of this cabinet run, so if we moved the cabinets down, the cabinets themselves would not have to change.

It would require moving a 3 cabinets one of which has the gas line in it. The range is a 36" duel fuel. The range hood design has a center stile in it so I noticed that the stile didn't quite line up with the center of the range.

Move it. You'll notice it for as long as you live there.

With a custom kitchen, that measurement should be dead on center.

Hubby talked to the cabinet guys this morning. They already knew the range wasn't quite center and were working on a solution. I had a suggestion which they thought worked. They had it fixed by lunch time. Much better now. I'm glad we made sure to ask though.

I just love happy endings!
