This was much smaller than I thought it was gonna be but that’s my fault for not looking at the dimensions carefully enough. I wasn’t sure I liked it at first, it seemed small and flimsy kinda. Once it was filled with books though, I loved it! I probably over filled it so it has kind of a messy feel instead of clean lines. If you want to use it for big/tall books you will have to stack them horizontally. It is better for small books FYI.
