This item is made of heavy fabric  not the plastic of my old beat up one that I have been needing to replace for the last six months.  My old one had compartments which fit pairs of shoes, and while it fit more pairs of shoes, it hung away from the door the width of the shoes and I could never close the closet door.  This shoe holder keeps 10 pairs of shoes, one shoe for each pocket, causing the the holder to hang closer to the door.  I've been able to easily close the door since I got it!  I love it!
