It's a nice sturdy shoe rack. My husband uses it for his shoes and can fit 18 size 12 shoes on it. I expected it to be taller but had I pulled out a tape measure to check the measurements given that would have tempered my expectations. Also it does not fit the shoe containers I bought from Ikea. The height between each row isn't high enough. All in all it still looks very nice and my husband's shoes are finally organized so I'm happy.
