I just wanted to know if the cabinet mentioned in chapter "At Flourish and Blotts" is supposed to be the one used in the Half-Blood Prince. Here's the quote from the chapter, it's shortly after Harry's arrival at Burgins and Burkes due to his half-failed Floo Powder travel:

"...and one of them was the very last person Harry wanted to meet when he was lost, covered in soot, and wearing broken glasses: Draco Malfoy.
Harry looked quickly around and spotted a large black cabinet to his left; he shot inside it and pulled the doors closed, leaving a small crack to peer through. Seconds later, a bell clanged, and Malfoy stepped into the shop."

Yes, that's is exactly the cabinet used.

In CoS, harry hodes in there from Lucius and Draco.

Later on, Sir Nick talks Peeves into dropping the cabinet to distract Filch from Harry's detention.

In OotP Fred and George push Montague into a broken vanishing cabinet...

When Montague returns, he tells Draco that he heard voices from both Hogwarts and Borgin and Burkes. Draco figures out what the cabinet is.

Draco spends a good portion of HBP trying to fix the cabinet in order to sneak Death eaters into Hogwarts.
