I got this to use as a bookshelf under a window.  The size of the whole piece is just fine, but the inside cubicles are way too small to use for books or photo display unless you lay them flat and stack them.  I choose the oak finish because they were out of white, not pleased with the color of it at all.  Sort of a dusty, dull brown color, not like any "oak" I have ever seen before.  Otherwise, it is sturdy and fits in my space, but not really able to use it for what I wanted except to display photos on the top.  I would not buy this again.
