Substantially taller than I expected, the measurements appear to be right as listed on the page. However, from other customer photos, it made this appear shorter than I would expect. NOPE. It's the perfect height! It looks amazing in my Living Room. There were minor defects to it such as stains on the wood and some cracks, however, I did get it from the Open Box section of the website so it was a returnable. Easy to assemble. Simple instructions. Connecting the top and bottom part however, does create a little gap between the two. Not substantial, but, it doesn't lay flush as expected. No alignment issues, feel durable. Very nice! If you open carefully, you can also avoid a bunch of white cardboard pieces going everywhere! Love it!
