I wish I could rate this higher. For the price, functionality, and quality you receive this product is such an excellent value. I got the 2-tier in black and it was perfect for what we needed it for – a small, but adequately-sized shoe-rack for our very small entryway in our new home.The product came packaged well with everything that was needed for assembly. Assembly itself was very easy and posed no difficulties. My boyfriend did it in less than 15 minutes – and that was with him taking his time. He did not need extra tools for it. The shelves themselves are surprisingly sturdy for the price, and the black finish looks attractive and authentic. Both shelves can comfortably hold three pairs of adult-sized shoes, and shorter shoes like sandals, slippers and flats can fit comfortably under the bottom shelf. I absolutely love it. Not only is it functional but it looks attractive as well. It totally transformed our ‘shoe-space’ beside the door and now it not only looks great but is organized as well. And for how light weight it is its pretty sturdy.This has turned out to be one of my favorite Amazon purchases. Don’t hesitate and just buy it.
