I just loved this piece! I read all the reviews and understood that for adult shoes, it would be a tight squeeze. However! I bought this solely to clean up the mess of kids shoes in my entry way. I have a small space so this serves as the perfect compact entry table topcatch all plus shoe storage. Note, I omitted using the legs on this piece which does eliminate additional shoe storage space but the way my space is set up, it would have been too tall and anchoring it to the wall would have been difficult. 

Overall, it completely serves its purpose and the aesthetic is perfect for my home.
