This unit fits exactly where I wanted it.  It was bigger than a lot of these types of pieces which was good for me and the space in the kitchen where I placed it.  It gives us a place to put and organize keys, outgoing mail and notes to family members just as you walk out the door.  Based on other reviews I wasn't surprised that I was not crazy about the painted finish.  It was a bit too dull and rustic for my taste and kitchen.  However, with a nice new paint job it looks fabulous.
