Really nice piece of furniture. I got the dark blue one and it looks sharp and is sturdy. It holds a good amount of shoes (right now about 15 pairs although we are two men). Only complaints would be 1) it does take some time to put together, although the directions are very clear 2) the piece does attract a lot of dust, although am hoping that goes away as it "settles" and 3) the brass knobs were slightly dinged up.
