Perhaps you overlooked the information in the description.

Don Z.

Page you links to says: "Size: 16 feet square"

On the drawing it says 12" grid and the room is 16x16 squares.

What I meant was what was the size. For example: 4x8.

And the answer would appear to be 16x16, as about three people have told you by now. What part of 16x16 is it that you don’t understand ?

Or is the problem that you don’t grasp the concept of counting squares on the figure to see e.g how deep the shelf is at various locations ?

E.g the shelf going down the left wall seems to be about 2 feet deep, when compared to the size of the 12" grid squares in the drawing.

that certainly is much more clearer …

Now I see why you could not figure it out by reading the legend

Wow, you gotta be a toothpick to fit behind that staging yard…
