I absolutely love this tower!  I am using it in my office to organize my greeting cards, as I send out many.  I also have a basket for immediate mail which needs attention.  The drawer is perfect for pens, stamps, and any  little items (bookmarks, etc.) I might wish to mail with cards.  It is perfect for my needs and adds a lovely decorative touch to my office!!!  Someone else put it together, but he had no problems.  The size was exactly as stated, so fits the spot available perfectly.Thanks much!!
