Compared to the swedish company it is probably trying to imitate: a little flimsier, a little cruder, for the price it's ok, but does not have the tight feel and balanced weight of the competitor's. It does the job for my use as I keep rarely worn shoes. A little trick: a laptop, laptop slipcover and keyboard as well as some storage boxes for the safekeeping of documents fit well in there without having the bulk of a filing cabinet :)
