I like the aesthetic of this overall, and seemed easy to assemble, but the bamboo is so fragile that it almost split when screwing the pieces together, so definitey be careful. I had to drill the hole bigger for one connection because it wasn’t done properly. The slats in between are pretty fragile as well. It holds about 6 pairs of large shoes, not 8 if you’re buying for guys’ shoes, just a heads up! It’s convenient, just not very well made. Decent price though and adds a warm feel to the room.
