I may have misread the description, but this piece of furniture is tiny. I mean, it’s tiny. In the picture, it looks about average height. In reality, it’s really short - like mid-thigh, and I’m only 5’2”. I also wasn’t prepared for it to be laminated. I thought it was more wood, less manufacturing. The distressed look comes from the laminate. I gave it three stars because it’s a cute piece of furniture, but I would’ve preferred something more.
