I loved the look of this bookcase on the site. I bought it almost immediately. A couple of day later I worried about the height and width. I checked the specs, and the height an width looked great for my space. I forgot to check the depth. This shelving unit is only 12" deep. That is a bit shallow for my application. I did end up making it work, but I wish the shelves were 18" deep. It would be a better product if they were deeper.
