I think this is a great piece. It looks identical to the picture and provides a lot of storage space. Looks great in any room or inside a closet. I gave it 4 stars because you need to know that I wear a woman's size 7. I don't think big shoes will fit. Also, the shelves are too low for high heels to stand. So they need to be put in sideways. I am using it for flip flops, sandals, and sneakers so I did not really have an issue. It does need to be assembled. I had help with that, it is pictures to follow. The quality is not superior, but if you are not hard on things, you should be fine!
