I really like this piece.  It is large enough to hold a total of 20 pairs of shoes for me.  It would hold more if the shoe compartments were larger.  You would be able to put flats sole to sole and fit twice as many flats.  The plastic piece that is used to separate out each drawer can go in two different spots, but I feel that this could have been deeper.  I would recommend.  It wasn't that bad to put together.  I did do it by myself.  I thought the instructions were done well.
