I’ve seen better instructions from cheap model airplane kits that were written in Russian. Be prepared to spend some time planning this thing. It does, however, fit my Women’s size 11 shoes and my son’s Men’s size 10.5 shoes without a problem, which is a big deal for me. Overall it’s sturdy and heavy once it’s assembled, despite the cardboard-like back and particle board pieces. There were a few marks on the veneer, but nothing obviously noticeable. Overall I’m happy with it for what it is.
