I love this shoe cabinet--the design is sleek and modern. The wood is decent quality and I think it'll hold up well over time. The height is perfect to put purses on top, and there's little cubbies and a drawer. It really helps to maximize functionality of your space and keep shoes from cluttering in the foyer/entryway. I was able to put it together by myself as a 110 lb young lady in about two hours (using a power drill). The directions are a little confusing, which is why I deducted a star. I ended up using the wrong screw for one part, which poked a hole through the front cabinet door. Oops.
