I didn't know I could love a shoe rack until today.  It is beautiful, and it doesn't deserve to be hidden in a closet.  As soon as my family saw it, they were claiming it is as their own lol.

This shoe rack was packaged better than any item I've ever had to assemble.  Each part was separated by a layer of thick, foamy plastic and Styrofoam.  There were no scratches or nicks whatsoever.  Each part was labeled, the instructions were clear, the holes were drilled in the right spots, and it was very easy to assemble.  The only issue I ran into was that the back board was too tall, so I had to trim it down about 1/8" to get the top of the rack to go all the way down.
