The beverage center gets a lot of use. It is a great idea to have that as we all get drinks from the fridge more than anything else. The ice in th freezer does take up a bit more space that I would like, but its nice to have the 2 different size cubes. The fridge has a lof o space but not being able to configure the shelves is a downfall. I would rather be able to move them around based on what I have in there but the half disappearing shelf does help a little with that.
