    Installing refrigerator end panels

    Unless you have a cabinet depth fridge, I would leave the panels full depth or close to it. Will hide more of the fridge sides. Additionally, it will give you a clean surface to die the countertops into. Having a small nub of countertop sticking past the panel is awkward. If your not...
