so it looks like it tapers more in the picture than it actually does. also it is not an "overstock" of the crate and barrel model -- it's a knock off and not as nicely made but it's really fine. visually takes up more space than i expected. it looks bigger than it is in the room. it's perfect if you want one of these and i certainly wouldn't pay the extra $$ to get the CB version. cheers.
