Size of fridge off-putting?

[Amanda G.]

Doing a rental rehab and I thought I would put in stainless steel appliances, since I needed to replace them anyway and planned them as my "wow" factor. But the space for the fridge is 30 inches wide, and the new fridge looks tiny, not at all the modern side-by-side monster. I'm wondering if I am better off returning the fridge, maybe asking slightly less rent, and letting the tenant put in their own. That way they are responsible when the fridge sticks out into the dining area (the kitchen is a U shape).

Thoughts?

You have an almond-colored, older dishwasher. A basic fridge will not detract from the kitchen. Steel is a waste because it doesn't match and tenants have a tendency to scratch and abuse it. Stick with a basic 18-20 ft fridge in white.
