Judy, we did see a GE Profile panel ready and I think it was metal sliders but to be honest I need to check it again. We like the adjustable pull out shelves and liked the bottom freezer three drawers better as I think the Jenn-Air had only 2. I do not know how the panel are mounted on either so need to check that. The handles are just not a big issue for us. I just saw yesterday information on the Fisher Paykel's (#RF201ADUX)new French door bottom freezer and liked the look and the information on their website about it. So I will give it a look for sure.

flseadog: sorry for not getting back sooner, but antss had the answers. I can confirm that at least for ours, the shelving is too shallow to allow an 11'' pitcher to stand: we have about 9'' between the shelves. You could remove one but will lose significant storage as antss says. He's also correct, the handle mounts to the custom trim surround, not the door itself and thus can be anything you want. I can post a picture if you need to see it but I think that's self explanatory. I agree with antss that you wouldn't want to paint the wine rack shelves. They are an attractive light wood (birch?) finish. I guess you could stain them darker, but the color really does not show much through the glass door. I think painting them would look strange, and honestly, cheesy as you'll get a matte, uneven finish with latex and it will look just like what it is, a home-applied paint finish. The amount of exposed wood is quite limited and I see no reason why you'd want to match it to the cabs. Otherwise, so far so good with it. U Line does not have the best record based on GW posts, but ours has not had any problems in the first few months. I also am putting some faith in a post from a while back which you should read if you have not already. Here is a link that might be useful: Update! Please read this about U-Line Corp.

What brand of dishwasher are you purchasing? There's about 3/4" at the top inside of my Bosch panel above the controls, so depending on our model you might just be able to fit it onto the panel wood above the dishwasher door itself. But that's without considering the issue of having the pull so high on the panel -- will it be structurally sound there? Or will it pull the panel away from the dishwasher over time? That would be my fear - that it puts all the torque on the top stile of the panel, leading to damage...? This might not be such an issue with a slab door design.

Hi there, If you have managed to fully integrate your paneled dishwasher, paneled beverage drawers and under-counter wine cooler (paneled or not) within your inset cabinets, can you please tell me which brands you purchased...and if you have photos, please share? :) We have made a last minute switch to inset cabinetry and of course we've already bought our appliances---aaargh! We realize now that a few of the appliances we purchased with overlay cabinets in mind will no longer integrate flush and fully once a custom cabinetry panel is applied. Specifically, I'm concerned about: * the beverage drawers (we purchased GE monogram ZIDI240BII, 24" wide opening) * the dishwasher (we purchased Bosch 800 series SHV58E13UC, 24" wide opening) * the dual zone wine fridge (we purchased ULine stainless steel/not paneled Beverage Center 1175BEV, 24" wide opening) Thankfully, our appliance store is pretty willing to swap out these appliances. We are budget constrained, so I'm hoping there are some accessible brands that integrate fully with inset panels. Thanks so much for any help!!
