This shoe rack felt impossible to put together. At first, I realized I was putting it together incorrectly. Th4 instructions were very limiter. When i started putting it together correctly, it unfortunately did not become much easier. There was nothing to keep the steel rods in place. Plus plastic was sometimes tricking to get to force into place.They all came unattached way  too easily because I'm afraid that the slightest bump could cause the entire thing to collapse.
Oh well, it's been working well as of recently, but I'm still fearful that I bumped into it, I would have to put it back together once again, which is a huge pain.
Overall though, once I finally put it together, it has been working very well. It holds a ton of shoes, even the heavy ones.
Plus I I like the option of raising and lowering the rods, so your shoes can lay flat or sit in a slanted position.
