When finished, this shoe storage/cabinet is beautiful. Like many self-assembly things, it was a pain to put together. You need a power drill ladies! I had to have a male co-worker help me because some of the screws didn't have very good pilot holes and you really need strength to screw them in. However, it looks amazing in my office space. A perfect cabinet to clean up the shoes I carelessly had sitting in front of my desk. I was also able to clean up my area a little bit more with the extra storage. If you wanted, you could use this just as a storage cabinet. It is really just a cabinet with two shelves. :)
