There is about a 1-1/2" filler piece between the fridge and the wall so the door does open more than 90 degrees. And the handles swing out beyond the wall. Thanks for the inquiry.

Thanks - is it sufficient to be able to pull out the panels to clean in case of spills, maintenance?

Yep - no problems taking out the deli drawer or shelves for cleaning.

thanks for the quick feedback. great work on getting the fridge aligned properly - looks good

The floor to ceiling cabinetry makes such a big difference in this "galley" kitchen and a nice way to have all the work zones facing the view! Love it!

Always check the needed specs for your fridge! They are all different.

When purchasing your refrigerator for your new kitchen..are you fitting the cabinetry around the size of the fridge to make it flush with the cabinets? Silly question , I know, but I'm noticing all the pics of refrigerators in the pics on Houzz and most of them are flush with the cabinets. Does that lead that a very small refrigerator in most cases?

They are wider, usually 36". And the space can be used so much more efficiently! You don't lose things in the back.
