Took a while to assemble but looks nice when it’s done! Holds around 6pairs of shoes easily, not 8, including my husbands size 9’s! However, I bought this for the hallway, where we have thick carpet and it’s not suitable. It won’t stand up on the carpet and falls over! Fine on wooden flooring, it’s supplied with a tie to fix to the wall, which we don’t really want to do, so it’s been put in the downstairs toilet! Not perfect, but it looks ok!
