I am a high-quality hound; I hate things that look cheap - so I was thrilled when this arrived.  You do have some flexibility in assembly as the lip on each shelf (shown at the front in the photo) can be put together at the back which makes the shelves sit flat instead angled down.  I found putting the top shelf horizontal was better for storing boots, while putting the bottom shelves angled was perfect for pumps and sandals.  I'm able to squeeze in a few extra pairs by stacking my flats on top of each other thereby making room for 2 pairs where one would go.  This has helped storage in my closet immensely.

Pros: quality look, flexible assembly
