Small Kitchen Prep Counter

This is one of my design concepts for a small, lightweight cabinet unit for bonus food preparation space, though it can be handy for many uses. This would be especially useful in smaller kitchens (within apartments, etc). Can tuck against a wall but also be easily pulled out for best accessibility. Features cutting board/prep surface, shelf for catching dish, drawer for knives/mixing spoons/frequently used spices, and another open shelf space below for other items...sack of potatoes? The cutting board on top rests upon a rimmed slot so one can simply drop/tip freshly cut & sliced ingredients into mixing bowls and other prep or serving dishes beneath. They could also be slid off the cutting-board from the left side and still land in a bowl/dish. For a render I used my apple slices from http://grabcad.com/library/fruit-corer-slicer-with-apple.
