Great looking and perfect for a narrow entry. Building instructions were easy to follow and putting it together on my own wasn’t too bad, but I’d recommend recruiting a second pair of hands for putting the cabinets in the unit at the end. It was tricky to hold them in position and get the screws placed correctly, I did manage though! 

I think 16 pairs is a bit unrealistic. I’m a women’s shoe size 8 and can only fit 3 pairs in each cubby, so 12 pairs is what I have in there. That’s not a huge deal for me, but might be an issue for some. The cabinets pull out smoothly and the whole unit feels really sturdy.

Overall, I’m super happy with my purchase!
