I've moved into a new apartment or I'd like people to remove their shoes as they walk in. The problem is no one wants some cheap shoe rack or worse a box or basket for people to dump their shoes and she was sitting right in your entryway. This little book shelf holds people shoes with a pretty plant on top and a box of shoe covers for those who prefer to keep their Footwear on. Looks great. Real wood furniture looks so much nicer. I've paid more for shopping at Walmart that was nothing more than compressed board and looked like it. For what you pay for this piece the value is definitely there. Will continue to shop with Wayfair they haven't done me wrong yet.
