Cabinet backswings? thoughts?
13 years ago
Hello,
In getting ready for our kitchen renovation, I am so very curious if this has been a problem for other homeowners (example photos attached). With most modern-day cabinets having a backswing (versus only opening 90 degrees) won't these cabinets bang into the range hood when opened? Does the homeowner really have to be "careful" each time they are opening the doors? Any thoughts on this would be extremely helpful!!! :) thanks - LK
