We take our shoes off in the house and I hate the clutter of shoes at the front door so I ordered this cabinet. I was able to put it together by myself, although I made a few mistakes and had to undo and redo some portions. Much sturdier than the shoe racks that pull out as drawers. The less moving pieces is generally better. You can also customize the height of the shelves to fit ankle boots and high tops. Doesn't look stylish or anything, pretty bland but does the job.
