The Spice Cabinet measures 38” wide by 34” high by 17” deep. Condition: Please study the detail photos. The overall condition is good for the great age with various time borne signs of age including a few stable age cracks, wear , rings and finish loss to the top surface and some missing panel trim to a drawer.
