This is a good item for the price.  Mine is almost completely full, and it's starting to sag/bend in a few places, so it's not the sturdiest shoe stand you could buy.  The pieces that join the metal bars are plastic, and the "shelves" are just thin plasticky fabric, but I do feel that I got my money's worth, and it's serving its purpose!  It has held up for a year without buckling yet, so if you need an inexpensive, average quality shelf, this is a good option.
