Quite functional as well as good looking. I bought it for storage and am pleased with how much it will hold but now I also use it to put my shoes on every morning. 

Pros: Very good looking and I appreciate the mechanism that holds it open when you need to go through it.
Cons: Not enough color options. Had nail protruding from floor protecting slider when unpacked as if sloppy job assembling at factory...could have caused damage on floor. We just pulled the whole thing off.
