I gave this 3 stars because the instructions were HORRIBLE - had to figure it out on my own at one point. Once together I am proud of myself for making it thru. Although I measured it, it's not as tall as I wanted. THEN after I put it all together, I found the same style of cabinet, almost identical for nearly 1/2 the price. It serves almost the purpose I intended, looks good but will probably keep looking and give away or sell online. Unless you have 2 hours to waste, money to blow, I would suggest passing on this one.
