it is small, but I expected that based on the measurements. I am using this for homeschool cubbies during COVID in my office. It hides all the workbooks and learning tools and keeps things neat. Construction seems pretty sturdy. The instructions for assembly are practically non-existent, so you will need to use your imagination. I was also missing 2 wooden dowels but I used glue so hopefully it stays together well. My #1 gripe is that while it is 11 1/2" deep, the doors take up some of that room so my kids' workbooks will only fit in it laying down, stacked. Not exactly what I had in mind, but we can make it work.
