We had limits on the depth and height of a product due to our kitchen cabinets. There were cheaper products out there that would fit but they weren't nice looking or have the features this one does. The slate wasn't our first choice but it's all we could get because we were told this line is being discontinued. I hope that's not true. The finish is great and the slate goes very well with our other black appliances. The inside space is limited due to the smaller size of it but the adjustable shelves and door shelves work perfect and maximize the space there is. I really miss a deli drawer but the amount of space it would take up I understand why there isn't one. After more than 6 months I still very pleased.
