Luckily we found a standard non-front vented Frigidaire model that only required 2" of clearance (most others are 5" +) which is something I can live with.

Next issue was they looked like this

Stainless steel isn't really something that fits in our house or our bar plans and these fridges don't have optional wood door kits.

So I took upon myself to remove all the stainless and fit a wood frame in it's place.


Routered the outside edge to be flush with the door, a little stain and two custom fridges in place for less than a $1000 combined.




They'll look built in once I trim around them.
