Perfect fit into a tall narrow space in my closet. I have a lot of shoes and before purchasing the rack I kept them in their boxes on the floor. Putting them on the open rack allows them to be easily seen and frees up floor space. Tips for Assembling: When you're putting the rack together make sure the larger screw holes are facing you as the screw will then fit in flat to the wood, also if you twist a screw a little ways into the pre-drilled hole and remove it before you line a board up to screw onto another board you'll find it easier for the screws to line up with the pre-drilled holes. Some of the holes are very small and it was difficult to line them up until I discovered this trick. This will probably cut 20 minutes off your assembly time.
