This chest has worked out well to hold lots of miscellaneous household items in our minimal storage home. Purchased this for family room/kitchen shared space. It was so much bigger than I was envisioning. More like a chest for a bedroom, but it fits the space. I measured the width but didn't pay attention to the other dimensions as closely. Still looks nice. A coupe of the drawers hang up when sliding in and out. Was a little challenging for my husband to put together, but it looks and functions nicely.
