This item is very narrow.  The measurements  are the measurements of the  top but the actual inside is  smaller.  It is very pretty and looks just like the picture but I was a little disappointed in the quality for the price paid.  If, like me, you planned to use it to hold books, it will not hold most.  It is also too narrow to hold a dinner plate so don't plan to store your china in it.   

Pros: It arrives assembled and is very well packed.  
Cons: Smaller than expected inside.  The quality was a little disappointing.
