I bought 3 of these because I have 200+ pairs of shoes. I already had a different kind of shoe storage but they were flimsy. These are a bit sturdier. I love that I can put 4 pair in one cube with the shelf or take out the shelf for taller ones like a bootie but no over the knee or higher boot. You have to be careful when moving because it's held together just by clicking into these plastic connectors so if you try to move it with shoes in it, the weight will cause it to come apart. Its best to assemble where you plan to display it. It's okay to move it empty but it still came apart a little but not as much with shoes in it. They came with a little belt, scarf or purse hooks that you can put at the end of each rack, which are quite handy. You can assemble alone but it is quicker & better to have someone help and you can pre assemble some parts and then put it all together verses doing it piece by piece. I like that it is vinyl and can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth. Overall a very good purchase. I like it a lot.
