I bought the lighter brown version of this shoe rack because the darker one was out of stock, but the color is actually a bit darker than pictured and it’s just right for my apartment. This thing is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for: a place for all my shoes + a tall table to set down my purses when I come in. It’s sleek, was straight-forward to setup, and I totally love it. I wanted to make sure I had unboxed it, set it up, and had it for a while before I left a review. Definitely happy with my purchase.
