T is shorter than expected, but I actually like this height. After finally getting it put together it looks very nice,but it was a bear to assemble. My husband is very handy and there were several times he had to undo and redo steps. And one piece of wood split while trying to force it into place. Luckily it was fixable. Would've been 5 stars if it had been easier to put together, but overall we are happy with it.
