If you have a brightly colored range, like the Bertazzoni model above, you might want it to stand alone. You can also place in between cabinets for a more intergrated look.

Ranges typically come in three main forms: drop-in, slide-in and freestanding. Most people are familiar with freestanding ranges, which are paneled on each side. In regards to kitchen placement, freestanding ranges have the most versatility. Drop-in and slide-in ranges have limited versatility, but provide a more built-in look than freestanding ranges.
