I purchased this shoe rack to put in my closet, on the upper shelf to conserve space in my small apartment closet. It fit perfectly, and organized my shoes well, with up to four pairs fitting on one row. (I was looking for shelves that fit 4 not 3 top optimize space. The shelf is sturdy and good quality, but I am rating four stars because I fee that $30 is a tad much for a shoe rack. But, the quality is much better than something you would pick up at Wal Mart or Target, so I bit the bullet and bought it. I may also buy another (cause i like to match) to organize the rest of my shoes.
