Got this to upgrade a small shoe rack intended for one person so that we had enough space for our family of 3. It looks so cute in our front room! Assembly took a while, so expect that, but it's easy enough that my three year old literally built some of the pieces herself. You will *definitely* need to anchor it to the wall with the anchoring kit they provide as it will absolutely tip over without doing that. Be sure you have a relatively permanent spot you want to put it. My husband wears a size 9 and his sneakers for a bit snugly, but it works. I wear a women's 5 and my shoes fit without any issues (besides my work boots which have to go underneath). I haven't tried putting stilettos in it yet, but I'm skeptical that they would fit without getting scuffed up. Our toddler's shoes slide all over the place because they're tiny. Overall, our shoes fit well and we now have a ton more space to keep things organized.
