I'm buying RTA cabinets and have been offered an additonal 5 year accident protection and replacement plan through Guardian that covers door breakage, scratches, water damage, etc. Is this worth the extra $400-$500?

What would be your choice between an 18" wide or 24" wide tall pantry? I like that an 18" wide is 1 door and takes up less potential counter space but does it get too tight if using rollouts. Any advice on this? Also curious if I put a tall pantry and refridgerator together at the end of a run do I put the pantry next to the countertop or the refridgerator next to the countertop?

Any reccomendations on where a trash pull out should or shouldn't go? We are including one in our kitchen update and are considering putting it close to our sink/dishwasher but this may end up being a prep space. (B18 accross from dishwasher in photo)
