This was so easy to put together. I live in a small apartment. But, have 11 grandkids and 3 adult kids that visit. We all use to just throw our jackets on a bench. And shoes would be all over next to it. I'm in a wheelchair. So,shoes were in the way of my chair. But, now this has organized all that mess. And it holds a lot more than I figured it would. Doesn't take much room. And the width away from the wall is very good. Definitely worth the money.
