We are not using this cabinet for shoe storage- we are using for storage in our office. It was the exact look I wanted. Not too deep. The shelves are adjustableremovable if you want a taller shelf space (only the middle shelf is not removable. This product honestly exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy, the hardware for the doors is adjustable and doesn’t seem cheap, and there were no defects or scratches with any of the pieces. I put this together myself in ~2 hours.
