My cabinet arrived from the manufacturer with damage on the front lower bottom panel--about .25" vertical of the art had been torn on the front. I found at Lowe's a 1-3/4" aluminum flat-top threshold. it's about 1/8" thick, beveled on the long edges (as it's a threshold). But it looks great as a kickplate. Not only covers the damade, but should make my cab a little more hardy to wear and tear. Cost about $10 with hardware and tax. May remove and enamel it black later, but for now the aluminum finish looks okay.
