The two drawers are slightly smaller-from a functional point of view. 8.5 X 11 paper fits, but it is too snug for what we wanted.
With a little ingenuity, we reconstructed the two drawers into one large drawer but kept the face the same.
It still looks like 2 drawers but it is one.
Now it meets our needs exactly.
We use it in the kitchen for a bill-paying and admin function.
Looks great and is Very simple to assemble.
