It was smaller then I thought, but then again, I didn't actually whip out the tape-measure. It took me a few tries to get it assembled and it doesn't quite sit right. there is a gap between the lip and frame. I'm not a huge fan of this brand but this hutch does what I need it to do. I stained mine and also sprayed it down with a coat of water repellent since I keep it outside. All in all, it's met my expectations.
