We bought this because we needed storage during the Quarantine to put school supplies for kids and my wife, who is a teacher. Once the lockdown is lifted, those items will return to their school classrooms, and it'll be used in our sitting room for general storage. It is shorter than I thought, but really that's because I didn't look at the picture carefully enough. It took me about an hour and a half to put together, with power tools. If you are using a manual screwdriver, it would take WAY longer. Be warned, the instructions are tiny and it's hard to see which screw goes in where, but overall, the build is decent and it serves the purpose we had for it.
