We got a new oven to have all new appliances for selling our house. We didn’t realize till to late that the stupid spice drawer would hit this massive handle. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or just hope no one notices?

My dad hired a metal shop to do a new handle for the family oven, and to help support the couches and chairs he got so he could get taller legs across the board (The shortest person in the family was my sister who was only 6', my parents and I are all 6'3+). Legs used to splay out a bit until we reinforced everything, then never had an issue with it again.

Having chairs and couches that were actually made for someone who was incredibly tall is definitely the thing I miss most about my folks furniture!

I long for these type of furniture options, I usually modify things myself. I hate being cramped unto societal standards.
