This piece of furniture is beautiful but not as functional as I had expected. It does not hold 24 pairs of shoes and is extremely limited on what stylesize shoe it will hold. I purchased to help declutter the front entry way of shoes. I am only a woman’s size 6 shoe and I can barely fit a pair of runners in because of the narrowness. If I only owned ballet flats it would hold 24 pairs. We had to take out the middle shelf in one of the drawers to accommodate men’s shoes and now it only holds 2 12 pairs out of the 6 pairs meant to be accommodated in each drawer.
