It was exactly what I needed when I needed it.  Measurements were exact, it was easy to put together, the shelf holds tons of stuff, and I've had several complements about it as well.  It's very sturdy - a real workhorse.  So far it has withstood cats and dogs leaping on top of it, a door banging into it, an old dog peeing on it, and it's still as good as new.  One of the best purchases I've ever made.  Outstanding!!!
