If you are looking for a shoe rack that is not an eyesore, then this is definitely the piece! It was a bit to put together by one person but as long as you take the time to go step by step, it can be done. I gave it a four star because of the "soft" MDF, you have to be careful that you don't overtighten or you might run into some splintering. This is not a true "Reclaimed Wood" as the description states, it's the look of "reclaimed wood". Otherwise, it's a good looking shoe storage.
