I find this to be a really good thing for by my front door.  I take off my shoes and just put them on the rack and it's nice and neat.  So simple to put together.  I do wish it was a bit wider.  In the picture it shows 3 pairs on one shelf.  I can only fit 2-1/2 pairs   You may want to line your shoes up side by side and measure them prior to purchasing this.
