Got this for Christmas. I usually put the furniture together but since it was a gift for me my 21 and 19 yo daughters and a 19 yo BF put it together. As they don't have much experience they had a few issues but it did not seem especially hard for them to follow the directions. I wear a women's size 9-10 shoe and they fit fine. My daughter wears 11-12/13 and hers do not fit quite so well. I can get 3 pair tennis shoes per shelf and 3-4 pair of other shoes per shelf. I like everything about this piece as far as functionality goes. Only problem is that when assembled the top left door does not stay open when I open that door, seems to hang off kilter a little. Also the door knobs are not even. So there are a couple cosmetic issues once assembled. Other than that I am pleased.
