The size is perfect. I am not happy about the little gaps in the drawers and we put this together so correctly. Very hard to follow the instructions though. I would recommend that you go through the instructions first, to understand the whole process, without screwing anything on, but place the pieces according to the way the instructions are telling you. Then do it again, but the second time, screw things into place. It should be so easy and fast. Visualize first with the pieces, then attach them together. Voila!
