WARNING - The measurements shown online are incorrect and are off significantly. The measurement of the two sides furthest from each other (widest point) is shown to be 47.24" (clearly marked in red on the item's page under Weight & Dimensions). Instead, it's 55" wide at its widest distance across, and now it won't fit the space I had planned. I wouldn't have even known this until I put it together.  The center shelves that are shown to be 15.74" wide are actually 23.5" wide. I'm not sure how you can possibly mess these measurements up so significantly. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew it was as wide as it actually is.
