I purchased this for shoe storage. I really wanted something that would fit in my living room without being an eyesore open shoe rack. It did ship in 2 separate packages, which I received together but would be frustrating if you received on different days.
Pros: Its at a price lower than most other options.
Once Assembled it looks great and seems sturdy.
It will fit a pretty large amount of shoes (see my but below).
Its at a great height. It doesnt hide below the back of my couch so I can set pictures and plants on it without worry.
Cons: Anything larger than a mens size 10 wont fit the standard front to back. The door wont close so I have to angle all my shoes which really limits the space available.
Assembly was frustrating, the instructions werent awful, but the backboard and the feet did not have pre/identified holes. This made it tough to determine where to drill the feet best. I also found it confusing the way the steps were sequenced.
I could not put on the 5th middle foot because it made the entire piece uneven and wobbly.
The feet are a metallic painted plastic which is disappointing.
I gave this three stars rather than two because if you have smaller shoes it would work better. Overall I would not repurchase this piece but its already set up so I am going to use for now.
