WARNING! I gave this cabinet 4 stars because it is the narrowest, most space saving and truly attractive piece I could find (I needed it for my bedroom).  It looks very high end and it holds more than double twelve pairs of shoes. 
However - if you are not extremely handy and experienced in assembling furniture you will need to hire someone to put it together.  There are no verbal instructions, only diagrams, which could have several steps in better order, and some of the accompanying hardware was mislabeled.  If I would have followed the instructions perfectly pieces of board would have been perforated - luckily I realized what they were indicating made no sense and was able to make adjustments.  Also the material scratches VERY EASILY.  You have to be extremely careful while working with this item, as one scratch will ruin the piece (I ordered black).  If you do assemble it yourself leave yourself several hours and have lots of patience, go over each step carefully before executing.
