Great buy for small spaces. We only had 37" of space to work with in our kids' playroom and this fit in there perfectly with a little wiggle room to spare. Highly recommend if you are short on real estate. Shelves are great for books and small items. They are only 8" deep, so measure your things carefully. I would tape out where it will go including the height as the unit is not very tall. But if you check out the specs and measure/tape your space out, you can get a good sense of what it will look like. It may look awkward if you plan on putting this in a bigger space. Very easy to put together and i like that the shelves can be reversed if you decide to change things up.
