We live in a condo and we don’t really have a place to put shoes upon entering the front door.  This is a nicely made item and looks like a piece of furniture or small console table.  It’s also useful for my husband to put his keys on as well.   It will hold 12 pairs of shoes but I have to mix mine and my husband’s so they will fit better.  It was easy to put together.  I may purchase another.  I recommend this item.
