First of all, I wasn’t going to order this because I was afraid of how hard it might be to put together. I read the reviews and most of them were very positive regarding the shoe rack itself and the overall assembly. Well, I decided to pull the trigger and order it. Came the next day. Yippy!  As for the assembly, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to assemble. Definitely would have been easier with two people but very manageable for one. Thanks, Wayfair for another quality product.
