The main door we use to get in and out of our home enters into our kitchen.  With that, there is no closet or specific place for shoes unless you walked to our front door and used that closet.  So I purchaed two of these to put in this little area of our kitchen and they are perfect.  They removed the clutter of my family's shoes and still has the surface area for me to throw my purse, mail and other things we need when we leave the house.  I bought both of these on sale and think the price we paid and what we got were in line with what we expected and they really do what I wanted them for.

Pros: Great value. Adds extra storage for what we needed while taking up less space in the area of our home we put them.
