This item had a great upside and a not so great downside.  The upside? The look.  This looks like a nice piece of furniture that would be welcome in any room.  The downside?  The size of the shelves does not let you put any type of shoe except ones with a very low height.  As such, I am mixed on how I feel, but my wife has enough shoes that we were able to fill it no problem.  3 stars.
