Love the piece and get many compliments on it.  The only con is that if you were to use the top fold down as a prep area it is a top heavy piece and they recommend securing the cabinet to the wall.  It comes with a very small strap, which I could not use due to where I was placing it.  However, I was able to find something to secure it with at Lowe's. I do not use the fold down as a prep, but since the assembly instructions recommended it be secured, I went ahead and did it.
