Last summer I built a cabinet to hold the microwave and coffee maker. Once I got it on the boat I hated it...to large. So it is now back in the garage along with the original one which I plan on adding to for the coffee maker.

What I built last summer: (I hate it)

The factory opening is 18 x 9 1/2 x 11. ( 10" height on the inside minus the wood trim. The smallest units I can find are 17 x 10 1/8 x 12 3/4. So I am 1/8 of an inch short...story of my life. I am looking for options.
1) Do I raise the entire unit 1/2-1 inch using a piece of oak trim similar to what is on the boat now?
2) Do I try to build a new, complete unit using the factory one as a template and make it larger?
3) Does anyone know of an outlet that has smaller than a .6 cubic foot unit? Here is a link of the smallest unit I could find.
