Plain panels for fillers instead of having clean line of handle
Not sure where the doors lead but looks tight to get into the room
Also 1 of the yellow topped spices is in with the orange topped spices
That was the decor panel i'm still waiting for, hence why the pelmet isn't on the bottom yet (it is a normal unit though, not got a boiler in it). It was my fault really. The units are 900h and the decor panels came out of a large tall panel, so the pelmet can be framed. I forgot that I had 3 r/h decors and 1 l/h, meaning that although there was enough material, it meant that I couldn't finish with a factory finish to the bottom edge, so need a spare panel to do so.
I know what you mean about framing handless doors but with 'j' profile doors i'm not a fan of seeing the bottom few mil of the carcase (you know as the 'j' profile is so thin there, you notice the carcase unlike you would do with a normal door). I don't like thick pelmets so instead I use plinth turned face on.
In fact I use plinths turned face on a lot of the time, for example as decor panels that are going tight to a wall, as filler panels, as spacer panels etc. Just works out cheaper for the client and looks exactly the same once installed (assuming that range of kitchen finishes all 4 edges of the plinth)
There's plenty of room to get in and out, think it's the camera angle that makes it look tighter than it is.
Re the filler panel next to the washing machine. if the room was just 30mm wider I could have got a 150 pull-out in there But agree it would have looked better with a profiled filler. I often do to be fair but my reasoning was that as I had a filler panel next to the over to clear the radiator, I would do the same opposite. Although in hindsight I could have just used a 150mm door trimmed down and wouldn't have cost a lot at all.

It should have had a blinding panel fitted on the side return.How is the D/W fixed, coz the new D/W's normally get screwed in from the inside now on the left and right hand side.
As it stands, you have a large gap. Tut Tut...!!!!
Snezza.
hmmmm old eagle eyes!!!!!!!
Now you mention it, that gap does look a bit big although again it probably looks bigger than it is as I certainly don't remember thinking it was noticable with the door open.
You're right though it would have been better with a panel down the side to fix to. It's fixed on the left and the feet extended up so it has slight pressure under the granite. It doesn't move and is solid in there.
I'll take that one on the chin though, as it's a fair cop
The thing that is missing is a bin. 90% of the time I include an integrated bin but this customer wanted maximum storage as they struggled with what they had before. To make it worse there isn't really any space for a free standing one. You don't want it in front of the radiator for obvious reason, plus it would affect opening the fridge. So the only place is on the wall next to the washing machine. maybe the least in troublesome place as the washing machine isn't in constant use, but still not great.
But as I say the customer knew this and really wanted the cupboard space kept for other things. That said, after she filled them up I noticed she buys supplies in bulk, from cash and carry I assume, you know 10 washing up liquids, 10 rolls of foil etc.. personally I'd keep that sort of excess in the garage or somewhere and have a bin. But there you go.

Is the missing item cabinet lighting?
The doors are ex Uber, now TKC. The finish on them is great and a 22mm door.
Lighting will go in after the glass splash back
