The size is exactly perfect for the space I bought it for. I'm disappointed that some of the hardware (like the shelf pegs K and the screw brackets G) are plastic instead of metal. It took quite a while to get those pieces inserted properly,and unfortunately I won't be able to adjust the height of the shelf. The 100 minute time estimate in the instructions is very optimistic. This does take quite a while to assemble by oneself. (My estimate is 4-5 hours)
