Bookcase bought for right side of closet will not fit in space. Once again, I managed to mis-write or mis-take or something my measurements somehow. However, I'm not really too unhappy, as:
1. The bookcase in question fits just fine under the window and will look okay with something decorative atop it (it's a touch short), or even a row of paperbacks with bookends on them (except that with us, it would be a matter of time before that all came tumbling down, I'm sure).
2. It also fits just fine in the left side of the closet, except it's not tall enough. However, the 48" tall one I didn't get as my car couldn't haul it is tall enough, and being from the same manufacturer and same line, is the same width. As that section is 60" tall to the first barrier, and matches my height nicely, making it easy to judge, I'm quite sure that the other bookcase will fit there also and be highly useful.
So there only remains to re-measure that area on the right side, and dig up something that will work there, a matter that's of less critical interest now that we have the window shelves and I know the 48-incher will work in the left side (with a bit of room left over, but that's life).
On the whole, I'm not too displeased. I even got the backing on by myself (since the short one is small enough that I can actually reach).
