It is NOT 16 inches deep.  It is 18 inches deep.  This was important for my planned placement, but now I forced to put it in a different place.  Not the end of the world, but cost them a star.    The dresser itself is very nice looking and sturdy.  Once you factor in the free shipping, I feel it is appropriately priced.  Took about an hour to put it together.  Have extra wood glue on hand.  Even using it sparingly, I did not have enough.
