I was shocked when the box arrived as it was much taller than I expected. I eyeballed the measurement when I ordered since I wasn't home, but that was my own fault. It still works beautifully in the space. One issue is that mine isn't straight, but slightly pitching forward. Lastly, the base filler made a huge mess when I took it out of the box (also not a huge deal, but be prepared to vacuum)!   

Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Slightly leaning forward, base filler made a mess
