This is the perfect entryway piece! I have been looking for over 2 months for a shoe storage cabinet in my foyer to help keep things organized. It holds plenty of shoes and even closes when I put my husband’s size 13 sneakers inside. I needed something that wasn’t too deep due to the foyer size and from the wall to the front of the cabinet measures 13.75”. I assembled the cabinet in about an hour with a few breaks and feel that it is very sturdy.
