I dont have a large foyer and I was going to return it because i didnt pay attention to the depth when I purchased it. But then i measured it out and I decided it would fit. So I assembled it and I really like. Much better than the shoe storage with the pulldown door. I like that I can put stuff on top. And still have an immediate shelf for my quick access shoes. My only complaint is i wish the legs were straight design and not slanted. But it works.
