Just set it up, so I can’t speak for longevity, but it is EXACTLY what I needed. 
In a house of 5 people, we have more shoes than we know what to do with. 
This rack was able to hold 3 makeshift shoe racks worth of shoes and still has some space. 
We even took out extra bars to make room for more boots and, thus far, hasn’t seem to be a structural problem. 
We’ll build. Nice and compact.
