Im not using it for shoes Im using it for my crafts (sewing, cross stitch, and various other crafting). It is perfect for organization for these items. However, my final step in putting together was the feet. I screwed them in until the screw was unexposed, leaving only the actual foot showing. When I turned the storage unit over, the foot screws had come through and totally tore up the compost, leaving about an inch diameter disaster where each foot had been screwed in. My thought is the screws attached to the feet are too long. My unit is white, and exposing the brown compost leaves some very obvious defections. Otherwise, it is so sturdy and attractive for my use. I just wish my final step hadnt ended in disappointment.
Thank you!
