Think about how you will use this appliance, then decide best location. One thought is that the warming drawer works very well at the "buffet line" keeping french toast or appetizers warm for serving. In that case, I put the warming drawer at the top of the cabinet and often on the other side of the island. Keeping food warm for kids and spouse? This location works well, too. Some people use their warming drawers to heat dinner plates. The feedback I get from my clients on warming drawers is that they are rarely used. Much of the functionality offered by a warming drawer is available via the oven(s). Food for thought.
