Perfect size exactly as pictured!! It is very heavy so if you live in an apartment make them take it all the way in. Also, given the height assemble in the room you want it. We had to take the top back off to fit it through a standard doorframe but it wasn’t that bad. Overall very sturdy. I would also say that it was MUCH easier with two people lining up the metal crosses between the three panels while simultaneously holding them up. It also says to start at the top and work your way down. We found it easier to work your way to the middle as tightening the bottom shelves pulled it closer together so if the holes were drilled off you had more room to play with. Enjoy— we love it!
