After having read all of the reviews about how challenging this was to put together, I decided to hire a local carpenter to do the job.  Even he couldn't get the doors to line up properly (though they're only marginally off).  Having said that I still think, for the money, it's worth purchasing.  Three pairs of shoes fit perfectly across the shelves, and we left out the bottom shelf so we could use it for tall boots.  The handles give the cabinet a nice, contemporary feel.  Assuming it holds up for the long term, I think it's a good buy.
