The rack was a little tricky to assemble, but once I got everything assembled it seemed pretty sturdy.  The piece doesn't look fancy, but it does have plenty of storage.  Depending on the size of your shoes you will likely only be able to fit 4 1/2 pairs of shoes on each shelf.  to get past this I usually had to store the 5th pair of shoes sideways.

Pros: Great Value, Good storage, Sturdy
