Pantry
Hello,
The space where the pantry is to be located is 42.12w x 22.48d. We have pony wall as see in the attached picture which reduces the effective opening to 41.16 in. I have designed with a pantry that is 36w x 20d. I have attached a couple pictures of chief arch.’s plan view and rendering, but it does not show the pony wall. I tried adding the pony wall through CA, but it did not quite work out. At this time we don’t intend to remove the pony wall.
In that case: Would 36w x 20d be the max possible pantry or could I make it wider, deeper and possibly reduce the fillers?
Thank you.

I like the way you have it with 2″ wide fillers on each side. Fillers are very important and help make the installation look custom and built into the space.
You can reduce them if needed, but anything smaller will make installation more difficult. A 2″ filler works well because it allows you to add a piece of scribe molding on the face to cover any irregular gaps between the filler and the wall. This is ideal since it eliminates the need for caulking, which tends to crack and fail over time.
The scribe is about 3/4″ wide, so it will cover the gap nicely while still leaving enough exposed filler face to look balanced. This avoids crowding the face too much or drawing attention to the scribe as it follows any unevenness in the wall.

Ok. Thank you.
The pantry cabinet is 36 in. wide. While selecting this width the drop down menus says “The cabinet back will be split into two pieces vertically.” It was not clear to me what this meant. Please could you explain this.
I have configured this cabinet such that there are 5 rollout shelves. A couple questions regarding this setup that I have are:
1) Are the positions of the rollouts adjustable?
2) If not adjustable for the above configuration how far apart are they placed and what kind of clearance can be expected?Thank you.

The cabinet back will have a vertical seam because it is split into two pieces. This is not a structural back and does not provide rigidity. It is simply the thin rear panel that covers the wall and cabinet nailers.
We split the back on larger cabinets like this to avoid excessive shipping costs. For example, a single 36 inch wide by 72 inch tall, 1/4 inch thick back panel would be considered oversized. That type of piece can cost more to ship than the cabinet itself and may even require a dedicated pallet. Carriers charge significantly more for oversized freight. Splitting the back into two pieces helps avoid those charges and can save hundreds of dollars.
Rollouts are not easily adjustable, but they can be adjusted if needed by drilling new holes after the cabinet is installed and assembled.
Detailed rollout assembly and installation is shown here: https://www.citycabinets.com/Install-rollout-shelves-s/130.htmThe first rollout is placed at the bottom of the cabinet. The remaining rollouts are then spaced evenly throughout the interior.
