We have this hanging on the inside of our small coat closet. We mostly use it for shoes we dont use as often like hiking sneakers, flip flopswater shoes for the beach and storing seasonal items like hats and gloves or sunscreengoggles. I will say it works fine but my husbands larger shoes stick out so they must go on the inside half or they hit the door frame when closing. I wish there was a prettier way to attach it to the door as the hooks show on the exterior of the closed door. Overall, it is a quick fix for seasonal storage and to declutter our small entryway!
