I bought this shelf for my closet design . It looks great. Very heavy and sturdy once attached to the wall. The back is actually wood and not particle board so that’s a huge plus. I also purchase Neprock Shoe Rack Shoe Organizer...so some of the shelves can hold 7 pairs of men dress shoes and low top sneakers instead of 5. I was able to put more than 40 pairs of shoes on the rack with one empty shelf left. I loved it so much I purchased another one for our mudroom. Assembly was easy also. I highly recommend this shoe shelf.
