I love this shoe rack for its design and sturdy materials! However, I gave it 4 stars for the assembly portion. It didn’t take long to put together, however it was tough to fit the shoe racks in after putting the first one in. The middle two shoe racks I had to shove into place which scratched the interior bars. I don’t mind as much since the shoes will cover it, but I wish I didn’t have to do that just to put it together.
