Guests dont even notice my shoe rack as it looks like its part of the furniture. Makes my entrance look so much more spacious and looks and works great. Two  flaws firstly the bottom drawer doesnt open easily because its not attached to the wall like the top part is- simple fix is to buy 2 extra screws and use it to hold the bottom half in. Second issue is that of doesnt sit straight if you have a skirting board - fix is to saw your item slightly if you want.
