This bookcase fits perfectly in the space beside the front door.  I had intended it to hold knick knacks but we use it to keep our everyday shoes away from our dogs!  Also it is ideal for last minute things to remember when leaving the house.  I like that it is sturdy and not flimsy and has an attractive minimalist design.    

Pros: Durable finish, attractive, sturdy, versatile 
Cons: One more level is needed.
