This bookcase is a lot narrower than expected but that is my fault for failing to notice the depth on the dimensions. However, I'm mostly annoyed with the fact that this item was advertised as on-sale and I ended up paying nearly $60 instead of the $35ish that was displayed on my screen at the time of purchase. I hadn't realized this until I accessed my account to verify the depth of the item, as I said previously it is a lot narrower than I expected it to be. All-in-all though, it is not a terrible bookshelf, however it is probably not practical for setting a desktop printer on, which is what I bought it for among other things.
