Mine does not have the added trim in front, but it fits nicely in the cabinet and most people think it's an expensive built in, rather than a $60 microwave from Walmart. :) Have you found it difficult to use the microwave considering it sits so low now? I'm thinking I might spill my re-heated coffee or something. lol :)tinab158https://www.blogger.com/profile/09762494818657147628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-33180998356094833182013-05-22T18:19:16.443-06:002013-05-22T18:19:16.443-06:00Turned out beautifully!
