While the depth is clearly defined in the description, I was disappointed in just how little the cabinet will hold.  The asymbly was not a problem for my handy husband, but he did say you must be careful to use the correct screws for each hole to guard against punching through the exterior. The color is a beautiful antique white going beautifully with the chalk paint desk and hutch in the room. Drawer fronts fit nicely with only slight variance in drawer space from top and bottom drawers making it more furniture-like and less hide-away office furniture. Guess I'll order another cabinet to get the space I need.
