We are glad to have this in our kitchen.  It's narrow enough that it doesn't block traffic per se, but the drawers are big enough to hold the things we want them to hold.  We were surprised and happy to find that our Kitchen Aid stand mixer fits perfectly in the cabinet. Unfortunatley there were manufacturing errors on the back panel and left side panel. We had to contact this manufacturer to request a replacement.  We waited a week while the cabinet stood half-finished, taking up the better part of our basement living room. One other comment is, the cabinet is finished with tung oil and isn't clear-coated. This works for cutting boards but I'm surprised that the rest of the cabinet is only partially finished.
