I only had it for a short time. For my use, the size was very important. The length was closer to 12-1/2" (ie plus 1/4") which was normal, the width was just over 9" (minus 1-5/8"). Missing more than an inch and a half was an issue. for the installation of a small faucet I had to go back. The rest in terms of construction seemed great in the time it took me to unpack, cry/wipe away the tears of frustration, measure, photograph and repack. The pictures are as close as I could show by holding/measuring/photographing the baby. I ended up buying the Talent MSS Utility Mic Stand Shelf, a flat shelf, very sturdy and large, measuring 15-3/4"x10". .An excellent alternative if you are willing to sacrifice peace, dear Ravenians.
