This item is worth $35 in my mind. If it was $50 or more, I wouldn't waste my time buying it... thankfully enough, you're getting what you pay for. It doesn't feel too sturdy but thankfully supports all my shoes and items nicely. Cannot complain about anything really though, took 25 minutes to put together and looks fine... if you are buying it and have upscale/luxury items around the house though... look elsewhere. This won't fit the part. You're getting exactly what you pay for (and a bit more). great storage solution though comparable to other alternatives.
