I love the look. It took a bit to put together but wasn’t that difficult. My main complaint is that it won’t store very many shoes. I have size 7.5 feet (women’s) and my shoes go all the way to the end. Even tennis shoes are too tall unless you adjust the beam in the middle, and if you do that there’s no way anything but flip flops or ballet slippers would fit on the top. If you only have a few pairs of shoes and none are anywhere taller than a tennis shoe I suppose you’d be fine.
