It holds shoes, that’s the most I can say about it. It is a very unusual material, like a cross between styrofoam and cardboard. I do not think it will last long, it’s very rickety and unstable and for $40 I’m pretty disappointed. I wanted to splurge on a nice rack and this is what I got. Ugh. They give the dimensions but I still didn’t expect it to be this small. Our shoes don’t even fit fully on the rack (size 8.5-9 shoes). We have a pair of uggs and redwings on the side because they could not fit on the top rack together.
