When I ordered this, along with the Hayley Cherie - 6 oz Large Square Glass Spice Jars (Set of 10) recommended by Amazon, the dimensions were listed as 12" wide. Plugging into a spare wall outlet to USB charger is an option, so it isnt a dealbreaker by any stretch, but having a USB pass through in the stand would have been a nice touch. I was one day short of getting a refund and amazon refused to give me a new pair or my money back. There were a few chips in the base. The slanted middle shelve is the key. I loaded two kayaks, one a 9. It grips well and doesnt slide around. I love how these sandals look, but sadly they are not that comfortable. It didnt come with instructions but its not hard to figure out, and I recommend at least 2 people to put it together. We are sorry but we can not refund the shipping charges.
