My note wasn't really on style, but more so how much human energy goes into custom cabinets in a lunch break room, when in reality an almost custom off the shelf solution that just has a bit of evenly spaced empty space on both sides is cheaper and 90% less hassle.

I'm currently working on metal hallways portals that are 10' tall, except the material is only 8', and the seams are ugly, so several people are designing solutions on how to split the span up And what kind of reveal to do so the edge/seam is nice. Why? Why does this hallway need a metal cap at the end of it?
