best thing i ever did for my house!!!!!!!!!!!! minimizes dirt and other nasty matters from going into my house. I placed it right by the front door everyone including guests put their shoes in there the minute they enter my house. Bonus, its helping teach my son about neatness and order. At 2 years old he will not go past the cabinet with his shoes on. he will wait for me at the cabinet to take off his shoes. and if i should get lazt and leave his shoes on the floor he will open the cabinet himself and put his shoes in there!!!! Score Mom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
