    Sticking out is minor compared to the inconvenience an integrated fridge brings with it. To my mind the integrated element is a pure waste of space.
    What inconveniences are you considering @Rosa_Damascena ? Do these persist with the silly money integrated units that don't actually go in a cabinet? 
    You get a lot less fridge for the space, and the doors never seal as well as freestanding. Which is a problem for an appliance designed to keep things cool :wink:
    Ok, so we're talking about the ones we mortals can afford... the small car priced ones have the same capacity as the free standing ones.
    I'm not sure whether you're being sarcastic here...but by way of example, look at this, which comes in at under £600 (the equivalent of ten tanks of petrol): https://ao.com/product/nf60188sta-stoves-fridge-freezer-stainless-steel-42656-28.aspx 

    295L capacity in a standard 600mm width. Much more than you would ever get into an integrated FF.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    Not being sarcastic... if you look at the Liebherr Monolith range or Sub-Zero units etc that are integrated then a 600mm freezer is c325L and a fridge is c430L both of which are larger than our freestanding 600mm fridge and freezer. The problem is they are north of £13k for a pair in the UK (if you're lucky, much cheaper in the USA)

    Random thought: every kitchen is going to have to have a rubbish bin or two in it - probably two if you're recycling food scraps.  Are they going to live under the window that's too short for cabinets?  I don't see anywhere else for them.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    The bins are on the island at the sink end
