Compact but wide. Great for quickly and conveniently storing shoes or other grab and go items, like a dog leash, poo poo bags, or spare keys.  Love the mid-century modern design. It was a little tough to put together but it’s not rocket science! Also, anything larger than a size 10 men’s shoe may not fit. My bf is a size 9 and we have to angle his shoe to close the cabinets completely.
