Its much smaller than I realized. I checked the measurement in terms of width and length, but did not think to see if the height was ideal. The online pictures are slightly deceiving. To be fair I have a 55 inch TV which makes it look even smaller. I am assuming the TV in the picture is small so it doesn't show how short the stand really is. I recommend taking the measurements and ensuring the tv stand fits the way you want it to in the space you have. Otherwise its exactly how it should be (I should have just been more careful to check dimensions).
