It was a bit smaller than what I was expecting but that ended up being a good thing as I am residing in a very small space.  I bought the piece to extend my workspace with my home office desk and it works very  well with my desk.  I LOVE the “hammock” at the bottom!  I can store my loose files and papers in there until I have time to deal with them.  Keeps the papers OFF of the floor!  Glad I purchased it!  Quick and Easy to put together, you just have to pay close attention.
