I don't know why this product would be advertised as overall 36'H when the actual height is 29' which it states height 29' in the product description but everywhere else is stated overall height 36'. This deceiving, frustrating and is a very big difference especially when we only purchased this product for the 36' height and were terribly disappointed that after spending 2 hours putting it together, we found out it is 7 inches shorter than we had wanted.
