I needed a place to store shoes for a family that takes off their shoes before walking around the house. This item worked out perfect. I was hesitant to order the blue version (other choice out of stock), however the color is not generic looking as I expected it to be. Assembly was easy if you follow directions. The plus is that the different areas to store shoes can be wiped down. I recommend this item if you are looking for a place to store shoes and not a stylish item. 

Pros: Can store 12 pairs of shoes, different sizes. Less if laying down tall boots on their side. 
Cons: Not a stylish item, but gets the job done.
