An extremely common type of range style, freestanding ranges are paneled on each side and can be placed in between cabinets, at the end of a counter, by themselves, or next to other appliances. They will usually have a bottom drawer for storage, or in some instances, a broiler compartment.

Freestanding ranges are usually cheaper than comparable slide-ins or drop-ins and also have more available sizes and features.
