i bought this for my daughters room to hide her stuffed animals that she isn't ready to get rid of but doesn't want her friends to see:)  it is very large and holds a ton of stuff.  we removed the Velcro shoe holders, and I love the fact you can remove them if not needed.  i think it would be great for holding shoes, blankets, or whatever you need.  for the price it's a great purchase!

Pros: large, nice gray color, good price
