This is a wonderful shoe rack! Fairly easy to assemble - I managed most of it on my own, but my husband had to help hold the doors while I installed them. The unit comes with all the screws and various things, but you will need to have a screwdriver, rubber mallet, and drill on hand to complete assembly. The instructions say it takes about 45 minutes to assemble, which is about what it took me at a leisurely pace. I purchased this as a gift for my husband and each drawer holds two of his sneakers (size 9) with a little room to spare width and length wise. Drawers open smoothly, the thin design makes it excellent for any space, and overall it's a lovely design...I highly recommend it!
