This shoe shelf looks nice and unobtrusive in my entryway, and helps me keep our shoes organized. It doesn't accommodate bigger shoe sizes too well. My husband's shoes (US 9.5) tend to get stuck. I also notice slimmer footwear like flats and slippers tend to fall over on their side if the shelf isn't packed with shoes, but I guess that can't be helped since opening and closing it is bound to displace some items. We've been able to fit about 15 pairs of shoes of various sizes and styles. It took me a little over an hour to assemble it. I haven't had it too long, so we'll see how it does over time. It does look nice though, and I needed something that wasn't an eyesore at the entryway.
