Yes, I know the dimensions were listed, but it was still much larger than I expected.  It fits, for example. two standard pillows plus two throw pillows (if you cram them in there).  Plus, I somehow missed that it is lined with plastic and has two carry handles.  It's really a nice, sturdy piece that I see our children using for a long time.  My only complaint is that the stripes on the zebra are painted rather than black fabric.  But the rest of it is such high quality that I can easily overlook that small detail.
