it depends a lot more on just height.

I am the same as you in height and I ride a 51cm Barron, a small compact Giant and a 16 inch GT Zaskar MTB amongst others which sizes I would have to check.

Did the person who sold you the bike know what they were doing, and importantly have other sizes in stock the could have sold you?

I'm 5ft 9.25in my bikes are 54cm, 55cm and 56cm; the bike I like best is the 54cm IMO you are better with a bike thats slightly too small and you can adjust than one thats too big and you cant; the smaller bike is also more agile and accelerates better.
 
5ft 9in. One bike is a 56cm standard geometry and another is Medium Giant compact geometry which has a 55.5cm top tube.

I think mine (frame that is) is too small

Considering that you are not that short, you really do have a small one. ^_^

1.86 m (6' 1") and I normally ride 58 cm bikes with 11 cm stems but I also got on quite well with a 60 cm bike with a 9 cm stem.

5' 10 1/2" and I ride a 56cm and a 54cm both compact geometry, both comfortable.

I've got short legs and a long body though.

Agree with HLaB that it's better to have a bike that's a bit small to give adjustment options.
