Not the sturdiest but it works for me. I like that it came with plastic parts to put over some of the shelves to put heels on, cause it's so hard to find a shoe rack tall enough for heels that doesn't make the heel fall through. You can basically build it to any configuration you need which was. I have too many shoes and live in the northeast so I have a ton of boots, so I was able to make some bigger middle sections for my taller winter boots.
