It's 23 inches wide and a touch over 6ft tall - it was easier to measure in inches, even though I'm a metric native. They were the bigger number on the tape measure! It may take at least some of the overage out of the living room, although I can't say for certain until I start putting books on it.
There was no plan but the plan in my head. I've put box-package shelves together before, and taken a warped one to pieces (it was in the cupboard of doom), so the actual way the pieces fit together was neither complicated nor mysterious. An extra piece of brace for the base, to make it so it stands more stable - but the hard part was the cutting and measuring. Never had to put something together that didn't have pre-made holes before. *g*
I have made a thing! Even if it falls apart, I have made a thing!
...You know, I'm starting to understand the attraction to the fabric arts and crafts now.
