We had 2 over the door shoe racks for our shoes. Terribly made, fell apart, wasn't able to hold the shoes after a while. Bought this, hung it in the closet, and works perfectly. More room - both my wife and my shoes fit in this with rom to spare. Plus, out of the way - being in the closet we don't have to bump into the old one all the time on the door. Highly recommend!!
