This shoe cabinet is great! It's super roomy (30 pairs) & the center drawer is perfect for insoles, shoe horns etc. The wood has a veneer with dark stain finish of decent to good quality. Assembly was easy with 2 people & 1 hour. How could it be better? Soft close hinges! The doors tend to bang loudly closed. A little piece of felt or rubber helps but soft close hinges would be ideal.
