The 6 To 6 ½-Foot Umbrella

A refrigerator cabinet kit attaches to the cabinet and makes a space for the fridge you will be installing. Make sure you know what size refrigerator you will be adding so that you can install a refrigerator cabinet that will create as snug of a fit as possible. Otherwise, you may be left with a refrigerator cabinet that is much larger than the fridge you will be installing, leaving you with an awkward gap between the fridge and the cabinet.
