Don't let the assembly detour you from purchasing.  It went it went together easily.  A little glitch in adjusting the hinges, but made it happen.  Let's talk about capacity.  I am a man.  Size 11 shoe.  No way it will hold 22 pairs of shoes.  I could only fit 15.   The lighting system seemed a little much so I did not install it.  However, it is a great set that can be app controlled with many options for light shows.  Think I will use it for Christmas.  The assembly seems sturdy and looks good.
