I need a cabinet in which to keep my linens, towels and sheets etc.
This looked to be quite adequate, simple and attractive, and just right for the small space in the little hallway.
↑In this kitchen setting, it appears the top of the cabinet would be at least level with the top of my head↑
Because of the problems I've experienced with this company in the last 72 hrs, I got suspicious and went back.
This image WITH the dimensions was buried way down on the page, I had seen the numbers but not next to the image.
49 inches comes to my armpit.
That kitchen must have been part of a set for a movie about little people or munchkins.

So in this ONE order,
I purchased 2 (two!) bedside tables and this linen cabinet.
Yesterday, ONE BEDSIDE TABLE, ~~not~~ two was delivered to me.
I assembled it, and it too is
***much*** smaller than what I'd thought I'd be getting.

I spent a couple of hours trying to reach them yesterday, and again this morning. I ***THINK*** I will be getting a second bedside table delivered in the next couple of weeks (or maybe less)
In these trying times, how can any company think it a good business practice to be deceiving their customers with photoshopped images of items on their websites?
Do you think I will EVER go back to them if I need anything in the future?
No, I will not.
