RE: Size 12 shoes
Very sturdy, and clean looking. You definitely get what you pay for with this one. With size 12 shoes, I angle them slightly so that they don't stick out, thus reducing the number of pairs the metal shelves will fit ( 3 on the long shelves, 2 on the shorter shelves); I could easily fit 18 otherwise. Note that I did not place any shoes on the upper wooden shelf. Even with that said, I'm very pleased with the purchase. 

 10/10, would recommend.
