Sturdy and beautiful!  One shelf we divided it into 2 for more shallow shoes, the other we didnt include a divider to make room for bulky shoes.  My daughter wears a size 8 to 8.5 women, and brought 12 pairs of shoes to her dorm. She fit 4 bulky on one shelf. 8 on the other with room to spare.  I was nervous if it would work in her small dorm room, but it was perfect!!  Love it!
