The 24-inch height and 12-inch width exactly fit the space. This collection was in very good condition and needed no sanding. With a little shellac to seal the knots, the table took paint beautifully and was a cinch to put together. We looked a long time for an item like this and are very pleased. The table was originally out of stock, but Wayfair was very timely in notifying us when the table came in and following up with a pricing question. Great experience all the way around
