Very pleased with this shoe storage option. Easy to put together. This can be mounted to the wall or free stand (against wall of course). I placed it in the laundry room, just off the garage entry. Like many homes, we come into our home through the garage, so the laundry room acts double duty as a mudroom for changing our shoes, hanging coats, things etc. Engineered wood, but very well made. Everything you need to put it together is provided.  I got the gray unit and its true to color. Delivery was also quick.
