Do I need this cabinet? And filler question...

Kathy Rivera

Went back to HD to adjust KD's original plan by removing the island. He insisted on putting a 9" sheet cab between the range and corner susan. I had planned sink, DW, 30" drawer, range, susan. Here is his plan.

I understand his point about the front of the range sticking out a bit and interfering with the susan's pull. However, I have this arrangement currently and it is fine. Not like "I can live with it" but absolutely fine. I'd prefer the bigger prep space over the larger drawers, the actual larger drawers, AND it saves me $500 on the dang cabinet! Now, I wouldn't have a dedicated sheet cabinet, but I was going to buy a few cheap file dividers at Staples and use those above the fridge.

Do I really need that 9" cab?

Also, on the peninsula, I turned the wall end into the DR. I assumed I needed 3" of filler on both runs. It looks like he put 6" to the left of the sink? Or am I reading it wrong? (sorry, it's tiny I know...) What do I need exactly?

Thanks!
