Kitchen base units not straight
Discussion
I'm replacing some kitchen cupboards with like for like units. The old ones had a spill and were not any good. When the old units went in my father in law cut 3cm off the back of the circled unit as the wall is quite out. We now want to add a freezer but if I cut 3cm off that cupboard then il need to trim the back of the freezer which I can't do obviously. I'm finding this quite tricky. What's the best way? I'm quite
Guessing I could put the freezer on the other wall which is all straight.

If you're replacing the units just start in that corner, bring the run forward. Doesn't matter if there's a gap behind as you cover the gap with a clad on end panel.
If the wall has a 3cm convexity will the worktop be deep enough to reach the wall on either side? The back of the worktop would of course have to be cut to fit unless there's a chunky upstand. dave7108 said:

The quality of house building is shocking & just because rooms look square & plumb, put a laser on them & it will be very different.Guessing I could put the freezer on the other wall which is all straight.
Walls bowing in & out & square cupboards something has to give.
Have you fixed the units on the left?
It looks like you have?
The solution I can see is the freezer needs to be positioned and then that becomes the reference point for the unit to the left.
Meaning that unit will now be proud of the wall?
The work surface might then also be proud of the wall? - or at least have an uneven fit to the wall.
Maybe and upstand or some other solution is now required to result in a decent finish along that back wall.
Have I read and understood this very well?
