Bought this hall tree for my wife. Didn't take long at all to put together maybe an hour. But once it was together I stood next to it and was taller than it. I understand the dimensions are included on the website, but I just have never seen a hall tree be so short. Just figured it was a normal size. The other reason why I only gave it a 3 star review is because the top of storage bench does not align flush with the sides it connects to. The left side is fine, but the right side has about a 1/2" gap. Not the biggest deal, but when you pay for something you expect it to work.
