This shoe storage cabinet is going to serve the exact purpose that I needed.  The "manufactured wood" is pressboard/laminate and feels inexpensive but looks much nicer. 
For installation, it took about an hour to put together.  1 board was missing the part identification number (to match instructions) and one part was mis-labeled with incorrect part ID number but luckily was obvious to which part it actually was.  Check all of your parts before you start.  Be careful when you hammer in nails to attach board to back of unit to not break through edge of exterior.
I am happy with the purchase but do think it is priced a bit high for the inferior quality of the pressboard materials.
