Finding
The fridge-to-sink path crosses the dining edge and has no reliable landing counter near the stove.
Fridge to sink path is long, serving route overlaps with dining traffic, and both stove sides have limited landing space.
Suggestion
Shorten the fridge-to-sink path or add a landing surface next to the sink before locking cabinet dimensions.

Designer question
Can we show a version that keeps the fridge closer to the sink or adds a landing zone without moving plumbing?
This is the shareable line a user can copy into a remodel conversation instead of arguing from taste or intuition.
