I did a closet make-over and this ended up being one of the best ideas that I had. I searched extensively on the web for just the right shoe cabinet and this one was the best by far. I bought 2 of these and positioned them on top of each other (top one sits on a shelf) and they are very substantial and sturdy. They were not difficult to put together but it did take 2 people. It's quite heavy when it's all together, so it's best to assemble it near it's final home. I left the feet off. I was very impressed by the style and price and quality. I used to hate my closet and now I love it!
