Mistake

The kitchen cabinet for the refrigerator was built too short. In fact, one panel was the right side while the other one was short. The carpenter trimmed the long one down to match and mounted it. It made it so the refrigerator would have stuck out over 4".

The cabinet guy tried to cut some corners and had some panels made locally that not only didn't match in color, but in grain or in luster. In addition, it not only didn't match, but the idea was to lay the new piece on top, which would make the side flush with the fluting on the sides, which didn't match any of the other cabinets.

Since he was trying to cut corners, we lost a week or so on ordering the cabinet from the original manufacturer. But at least we know it will match.

Before putting the first coat on the floor, the carpenter removed the old cabinet for the refrigerator.
