“If you’re dealing with a kitchen full of tight corners, the depth of a refrigerator is just as important as its width,” writes Alexa. “What you need is a slender 24-inch wide counter-depth fridge; counter-depth meaning 24 to 29 inches deep (to stand flush with standard 24- and 25-inch cabinets).” See her top picks in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
