Even though I measured the height before I ordered it, once I put it together, I thought it might be too tall. However, once I put things on it and put it against the wall, I loved it! I'm going to be ordering 1, maybe 2 more. It holds a good amount of things and it was really easy to put together. I'm pretty good at assembling pieces of furniture, but as long as you follow the details on the photos of the instructions, you should be fine.
