Clearance for Under-Counter/Bar Supports

[Chuck]

Do you have a solution when ordering base cabinets to allow for the necessary clearance above the doors to use under-counter supports for supporting the bar overhang? Your standard base cabinets only have a 1/4″ inch clearance to the top of the case and most of these supports require a half-inch deep recess into the cabinet frame.

Easiest way to achieve clearance would be to simply order the cabinets slightly lower in height, then fill in the gaps using a trim molding or wood blocking in between the supports. Our cabinets do not have a face frame, so it is not possible to make for a wide rail on the top of the cabinets as your photo shows.
