I got this during Way Days sale so for the price I am very happy. It definitely has forward lean to it if I am not careful to keep weight of shoes all towards the back. I was impressed with how tightly the shelves pull together when assembled. Assembly takes a long time, many partspieces...probably about 50 pieces. Be aware of that when buying. But it is very taut, holds all my size 12 footware and no parts of my shoes hang off the edges. All in all, very satisfied and a great storage solution.
