DH wants it built in because of the mess that can get down the sides and underneath. I was leaning more towards freestanding as that seems to be what a lot of people are putting in and our bench at the back wall is 4m and thought the freestanding would even out the space, so to speak. So.... What do you prefer? With the freestanding do you get a lot of mess down the sides and underneath? I haven't told DH yet but I do like how the built in ovens look very sleek.
