Will the door open with 29" deep panels? We must have the same fridge cause this is what GC and I were debating. My fridge is next to the pantry wall, which he made 25" so the hinge would not rub.

If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered both the panel and the cabinet on top of the fridge to be 28" deep. The granite would then just butt into the panel, and give a standard fridge more of a built in look. We used Shuler/Medalion Cabinets which allowed us to order custom sizes. Of course it would have cost more, but less than a "cabinet depth" refrigerator.

Our panel and cabinet are 28" and I like it a lot. Here is a pic:

Not installed yet but just had this discussion with the KD. He has the side panel extending the full depth of the refrigerator up to the door hinges for my french door standard depth refrigerator. The countertop will be just almost exactly lined up with the end of the panel. It looks good on the drawings and he says the hinges will clear easily.

Mine is 28".
