I have little closet space, and even when rotating out summer/winter footwear, I often ended up lining my footwear around my front door. This cabinet made the area in front of my front door cohesive and cute again. I have fairly small feet, and it did in fact store 20 pairs of my shoes, even shorter heeled booties (tall heeled booties will fit if you adjust the shelves). The wood pattern also has a a nice look to it, it fits in with some of my more expensive wooden furniture. My only pet peeve with the cabinet is that for whatever reason during assembly, I couldn't get them to line up completely evenly, but I doubt any of my house guests would ever notice.
