As far as being a shoe shelf, it's great.  However, I purchased this shelf because the pic DID NOT show any holes.  It DOES have all the holes up and down, inside and out, and I was NOT supplied enough of the little white sticky things to cover them all.  I will need to find those elsewhere.  Also, when not purchasing the whole closet system, the metal bar that the shelf hangs on sticks out and is visible.
