I chose this cabinet because it wasn't as wide as other cabinets out there and I only had about 32" of wall space in between two doorways to work with. That said, it holds a decent number of pairs of shoes (more pairs in the summer if you have a lot of sandals, obviously less in the winter) and it has a nice finish to it. The instructions say you need 2 people to put it together but the second person is only necessary when it comes to attaching the two drawers (it really helps to have that 2nd person then!) Otherwise you can put the rest of it together by yourself. Overall I'm very happy with it!
