For the price point, this is not bad at all. Took a while for one person to assemble. Came together nicely. I didnt pay attention to the height when buying, did check the length. Thats my fault, not the companies. I looked at the pics, saw books standing upright, assumed at least 2 feet high. I really wanted that storage space. With the front facing shelves set at the midpoint so they bisect the compartment, the height is 6.25 lower, 6.75 upper. Standard paperbacks wont stand on either shelf, forget a standard book. Photo definitely misleading.
Pay attention when shopping.
