I really wanted to like this shoe rack as it was exactly what I was looking for, but I just can't.  It was easy enough to assemble, but the materials are super cheap.  The MDF board is very soft and what looks like wood is just extremely thin veneer glued to the MDF, so hand tighten screws- do not use an electric drill or screwdriver.  The welding on the rack was off in several places leaving gaps that make me question durability in the long run.  Lastly, what I thought was a drawer on the top is a flip top storage area, where the lid is attached by two hinges held in by four tiny screws that I feel will easily be stripped from the soft MDF after some use.  This also limits the top surface area as you can't put anything on top.  Overall it does hold a lot of shoes and seems sturdy enough, but I am very disappointed in the quality as I've put together a lot of furniture over the years and this is the cheapest material by far.  I would have returned it except I already put it together.
