<nodding vigorously> *YES*!

I can't tell you how many times I've wished I had one because what I'm
putting into the refrigerator didn't need refrigeration, but could
benefit from being kept at a cooler temperature than it is inside the
house.

The bad part of their remodel was no pantry! I have a lazy susan and
bins, but I'd love an official pantry even if it was just a single
floor to ceiling cabinet. We finally made (almost) all of our lower
cabinets roll out shelves, but the two I use as pantries are not.
They are very narrow and counter depth, so I only use what's at the
front. What a waste of space! I should have had the carpenters make
them into independent roll out units, but I was stuck in roll out
shelf mode and it didn't enter my mind until the whole kitchen update
thing was over and done with.
