I used arborite as well. I got a 4 foot black piece for $10, scored it with a knife, snapped it to size, sprayed some contact cement on it and slid it in. Light, durable and easy to clean.

Replacement Trillium fridge and furncae?

Do they make a fridge and furnace that will fit into the small depth of the Trillium cabinet. I believe my clearances are 19"s and everything I've looked at is over 20"s.
