It fits perfect in the area we wanted to put in. Assembling was not a big hassle. The shipping took really long time tho. The item was in my town at FedEx for 5 days. i had to call them 3-4 times before I got it delivered. The box was wet due to rainy weather. I think FedEX kept it outside in rain or something. That caused chipped edges of the wood on multiple parts.
