I searched for a while for the right thing and this piece works great! We had them scattered all over the floor and now they're hidden and neat! Pictures are accruate, color is accurate. Sturdy and feels like a solid piece of furniture. Very impressed with the quality and just 1-2 hours and general tools for assembling it. I am a size 9.5 Womens and my husband is a 10.5 Mens. We fit a total of 19 shoes: some shoes straight in side-by-side, some side-by-side but one facing the opposite direction (easiest with sneakers), flats and flip flops stacked on top of each other, and some pairs of low profile boots.
