This item is very fragile. The shelving is a thin plastic material that can rip when putting it together. You have to be extremely careful assembling the shelves as the stress will tear apart the shelf material. The instructions were wrong in the size of the posts. They are actually the size of the end pieces. I’m patient but this was frustrating to assemble. Once assembled it’s very lightweight but definitely don’t put anything heavy on the shelves. It will only hold 4 pairs of men’s shoes size 9 or larger per shelf.
