Hello, I am close to finishing my kitchen with Adel Brown. However, there is one annoying thing. Since my walls is not straight or exactly perpendicular to the floor, or maybe it's due to the house itself not exactly level to the earth/horizon, there is always some gap between my wall cabinets/base cabinets and the drywall. Sometimes the gap expands from top to the bottom.

The old kitchen cabinets has some vinyl or wood to cover it up, just like when you finish your wood floor, you would use a piece of wood to cover the intersection between your baseboard and the wood floor.

For Adel Brown which prides in edgy-look, any brilliant idea? Thanks!!

are the cover panels not hiding any gaps at the back of the wall? in my kitchen even gaps that remain after the cover panels are in create a shadow line that hides some gaps. others may need to be scribed and there have been many posts on that. lastly it was suggested to add a strip of aluminum edging at the back - that would be a modern touch
