Does anyone have a fruit cellar?

I've always wanted a fruit cellar and I'm thinking of building one. I was wondering with fridges and things are they really that useful anymore? If you have one what do you use it for? Could you also age cheese in something like this?

I don't have a root cellar but, really do want one. My cousins in Saskatchewan have one, I believe.
