It will turn out depending how big the owners spine is and how he wants
it to turn out. In other words, you paid for a specific cabinet, stick
to your guns and make sure you get that correct cabinet. Not a cut off
version or one that can look right. You want what you ordered and you
have the right to receive it. The only drawback will be having to wait
for the correction to be redone. Bottom liine...you can either tell the
contractor to knock a lot of money for the mistake if you are willing
to settle for the modified version or knock off some money for the
correct one which you will wait for and because it sets the completion
date behind. Either way, stand your ground.
