I purchased this luggage rack for my guest bedroom.   It might not be as sturdy as one of the commercial/industrial steel luggage racks that you see in hotel rooms, but it has worked very well for the occasional guest that stays with us.    The bottom rack serves very well as a place to store shoes.    As a bonus, the depth of this luggage rack fits well in our guest bedroom closet when it is unfolded.......guests can open the closet, set their suitcase on the luggage rack, place their shoes on the shelf underneath, and still have room to hang their shirts on the closet rod at the top of the closet.   Very handy!!!
