Very impressed with how sturdy, well constructed and good looking this shoe rack is.  It's metal - not plastic.  And it's an attractive dark bronze.   All the parts aligned properly and it was pretty straight forward to put together. (Although I never did find the "FRONT" stickers on the shelves that the directions referred to.)  In fact, the braces fit so well that they are really tight and if you don't have strong hands, you might need some help. The screw-in feet give you some leveling options in the case of an uneven floor.  I was hoping the legs would be high enough that our Roomba floor cleaner would fit underneath but it won't. We might add some risers to the legs.  Otherwise, we are very happy with this new addition to our entry way!
